I also agree. I think his heart is most definitely in the right place, absolutely no doubt about that. But I think this is mostly ignorance on the part of the people using the captcha system. They have no idea that it locks us out, how could they know if we don't tell them? But there are ways around it. The service isn't saying hey! Let's put up this captcha so we can get rid of those stupid blind people! They aren't doing this on purpose, they just plane don't know. I have tried on a number of occasions to get this across to him, but it doesn't seem to be getting through. sigh. I like the guy and he's done a lot of great work, but I, much like you, am really bothered by the sign analogy.
