[Blindtlk] mobile Facebook

[David Andrews]

I would like to remind people to remember that a given thing is not 
the same to each of us.

Someone will post a message that says, "Facebook is terrible and 
completely inaccessible."  Somebody else will post that "I use it 
every day and I think it is wonderful."  Each of us thinks that our 
pronouncements are absolute and we are right.

However, there are many variables, so one man's silk purse is 
another's sow's ear.  There may be differences in how different 
screen readers handle something.  Each of us has his/her skill level 
with access software and the site -- some are better at it then 
others.  Each of us has a different tolerance for annoyances.  Each 
of us has a different style of using access software and sites -- 
some may work better than others -- but they are ours.  We all have 
different expectations, levels of experience, and may be trying to do 
different things.

People tend to state things in absolute terms -- this is ..... Maybe 
we should remember to tack "for me" onto everything!

Please be more gentle when you write and read messages.
