> > good evening,
> > i don't know if you guys remember, but a couple of weeks ago I had asked
> the question here about Weight Watchers and whether or not their website and
> online tools were accessible for someone using a screen reader. As a follow
> up to that question, I am very upset to learn that most of site I'd need to
> use is not at all accessible. it doesn't respond to screen reader commands
> and you can't navigate the thing because it's all flash and graphics. of
> course the sign up page reads beautifully. i brought this problem to our
> local Weight Watchers people and asked if I could have the material in
> another format like braille, but they will not give me a straight answer for
> this and the only thing they've given me is a pocket guide.
> > do I have any recourse here? saying I feel cheated is pretty mild; I'm
> very upset that I'm not getting the same opportunities as other participants
> though I'm paying the same money, and while everyone else has multiple
> options for doing tasks, I don't even have one.
> > if anyone can offer me somewhere to go for help with this, I'd 
> > appreciate any suggestions. if I'm just plain SOL AND THERE IS no recourse
> here, then thanks for letting me vent.
