I think you should know that having things start two or three times with Install or Uninstall is a lot easier to distinguish than having everything start with "Click here". And yes, we should definitely make sure we're not making things harder for the blind by insisting on keeping such a bad practice.

Nobody is "insisting" on keeping anything; I only questioned the need (which is what "discussions" are for) for the change. I even said I was neutral. :roll:

Agreed. Jakob Nielssen has been saying that "click here" links are bad for years.
