Two responses to David's oh-so-articulate message below. Joel was simply
answering Laura's question. She asked why blind people would want to
have pictures on Facebook, and Joel gave her a very good answer. None of
this has anythig to do with JAWS, of course, but that's the answer to
David's grunted question.
