Sighted People

YOU crazy sighted people!
posting poems inside graphic images
which my screne reader refuses to recognize as "text,"

so I can't read them ...
You crazy sighted people!
How you so complicate the world for us
only to help us
get it straightened out again.

This in an issue that I had not considered - all future posts with images of mine will be posted also in plain text.  Thank you for bringing this to my attention and I will go back to the threads that this applies to and post the poem in the response.

Thank you Jaime - Let's keep this one in the "limelight" so that the sighted can better see...

I understand how you feel. The text on images are hard to read, sometimes. If, or when I put text on images, I always try to make sure it is easy to read. But, I rarely ever put text on images.

EXCELLENT point!

[some of us (alleged) 'sighted' folks
often have alot of trouble reading
  photo-image 'overwrites' too!!]
  

p.s.: I believe you 'see' far more and
      far better than many (most?!)
      'sighted' people I've met!
