It sounds like the web master is an idiot.  Why would you move a link, that 
lets a screen reader  access your web site two screens deep into your web 
site.
You would not.  You would place it right up front where some one looking for

it would come to it quickly.
Our money is as green as anyone else's and there are some 59 million disable

people in this country, some of whom are very wealthy.
Equal access is the law and the NFB has been very successful in suing over 
this issue.
It is time that businesses doing business with the Public made themselves 
accessible to all of the people.
I know that I will support a lawsuit over the matter and go and picket or 
sit in if that is what is needed.
