This is getting beyond offensive. He is under no obligation to prove
anything to you and if you have any evidence of some wrong-doing, take
it to the appropriate authorities. This attack on Chaddy2222's
honesty just makes you look petty and vindictive.

Please note how Chaddy says "those of us with low vision".
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The following is the World Health Organisation's definition of low
vision.
This is widely used internationally.
A person with low vision is one who has impairment of visual
functioning even after:
- treatment, for example an operation and/or standard refractive
correction (has been given glasses or lenses)
- and has a visual acuity of less than 6/18 to light perception, or
- a visual field of less than 10° from the point of fixation (i.e. 20°
across)
- but who uses, or is potentially able to use, vision for the planning
and/or execution (doing it!) of a task

----------------------------------------------------------------------
In North America and most of Europe, legal blindness is defined as
visual acuity (vision) of 20/200 (6/60) or less in the better eye with
best correction possible. This means that a legally blind individual
would have to stand 20 feet from an object to see it with the same
degree of clarity as a normally sighted person could from 200 feet. In
many areas, people with average acuity who nonetheless have a visual
field of less than 20 degrees (the norm being 180 degrees) are also
classified as being legally blind.
Approximately ten percent of those deemed legally blind, by any
measure, are fully sightless. The rest have some vision, from light
perception alone to relatively good acuity.
Those who are not legally blind, but nonetheless have serious visual
impairments, possess low vision.

application of a brain suggests the interpretation "we are not poor

So, I repeat my question:
We ???
Is he trying to make us think that he represents blind people ???
Isn't he being a bit misleading?
Does he show any consideration whatsoever for those who are in a worse
condition than he is by producing non-accessible content in a web-site
that claims to "specialise in making websites that are accessible to
the widest range of people possible":?

but then goes on to say that "you will need the Flash Player to *view*
the below content":
http://freewebdesign.awardspace.biz/portfolio.php
Is he not basically asking for compassion, while at the same time
denying accessibility to the people he claims to be helping.?
Perhaps because he knows that he can't get any money out of those
people?
Is there more than a 0% chance that he is what he claims to be. ?
