Accessibility suggestion

[Brooks Davis]

Thank you for your suggestion, we will not be acting on it.

The specific link is to an article about FreeBSD which happens to be on
a hosting advice website.  If would be great if the website was
accessible, but we're not going to reject publicity just because it is
not.  Substituting another hosting recommendation site would not serve
the purpose and if the article appeared on another site that would
almost certainly be the result of theft.

That basically just means it???s not usable by folks with certain visual impairments.
