I ran an audit on these pages and found quite a few issues. I could provide the results of the audit if anyone is interested.

I went to the web site and I couldn't find a single issue with the site. In fact, it may be the most accessible and easiest to use shopping site I've ever visited.

I'm also very much against frivolous lawsuits against sites that are accessible just to get some kind of a settlement for a nuisance lawsuit. I think this makes blind people look bad and petty, and it makes it harder for us to address issues with sites that are legitimately inaccessible.
