[nfbcs] Suing a seemingly accessible web site

[Nicole Torcolini]

I also know what you mean, but that does not quite seem to fit this situation for some reason. Again, I agree that more information is needed to really know what is going on.

I have worked alongside my state for certain projects and I will say 
that certain things did tend to get shelved.  So I know what you mean.

Much of it is not. mentioning it usually gets some answer like "that is on the back burner for now." I must admit that it makes me pretty crabby. If you don't know what that means, there are plenty of places to look it up. If you cannot find a place to look it up, ask. It feels like that rarely happens.

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. The web site is https://www.evolutionsalt.com/

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.
