It is not about accepting. You asked for a check of an accessible version
of your site. People here, including me, see no accessible site.

I don't understand. What do you want checked if you regard the critique
you get as just opinions (meaning: I don't bother to do anything with what
you say, because I want to be right in the end, but thanks for saying it
anyway and bye for now?)?

No? But you have another problem. Fix your newsreader. You include the
sig's of posts in your reply's and you shouldn't. The sig separator is to
keep the sig out of the reply's. If you use a broken newsreader, fix it by
hand every reply you make.

Sorry for this, is my first time that I write in newsgroup and I write with
Outlook Express.

Not a problem, anything that causes a link to be opened in a new window can
be removed without making the page invalid.

The only link I see is the small image which leads to presumably his home page.
I don't see the other one at all...

He has a list of allegedly 'accessible' sites on his (presumed) home page.
I followed one of the links and got onto a link-page 'Best of British';
followed one of the links at random and arrived at a site
www.estherfranklin.co.uk whose homepage is just a very big sliced-and-diced
graphic, with no sensible alt-text, and a link which says "Enter Site" "Get
Flash Plug-in."

Predictably, if you click "Enter Site" without Flash, you just get a big
rectangle with 'no plug-in' as the alt.

Accessible?
Not unless they've changed the meaning since I last looked.

Hey, hey. I can do without people projecting all sorts of states on me
unless they are educated and trained psychologists or psychiatrists and I
am their patient.

I saw in another post that you intend to use a real newsreader. That's
good.

I'm guessing that somehow the word 'accessibility' is a buzz word in some
area's of the web and as long as you can sell your site as accessible to
those who know no better, you're ' the boss'.
These people have no clue as to what accessibility is about and who it is
intended for. It's a shame and I don't care

I don't know this word. I couldn't find it in any of my dictionairies
either (All English or English->Dutch). What does it mean.

It's (Scots) Gaelic.
(It might also be Irish Gaelic, for all I know.)
It means Health, and is the usual abbreviation for Slainte mhath, meaning
'good health', a traditional Scottish toast, even for us 'lallans' speakers
('lowlands') who know little other Gaelic.
Interpret as: 'best wishes from Scotland'.

It's pronounced something like Slahnge vah (very soft g)

Slainte

Well, thank you Liz. Both for the wish and the explanation.

'Good health' to you too,
