[orca-list] Important: Web accessibility survey for screen reader users

[Alex Midence]

My point precisely.  I did the very same thing!  Unless we make it our business to ensure these people know we are here and want to be included, they will keep leaving us out of the equation when they do 
their web accessibility initiatives.  I kept having to mark OTHER when  I wanted to reference Orca.

They continue to exclude Orca from their screen reader list, or at least that was the case when I did this survey a couple of weeks ago.  My suggestion is that everyone mention Orca in the comments, and request that it be included. That is what I did.
