What part of "readily achievable" don't you understand? :-)


and what part of 'there is no grand father clause' do you not
understand? and which part of 'prohibit exclusion, segregation, and
unequal treatment' do you not understand?

I understand it quite well as I showed with the post that backed up my
earlier comment. Buildings that existed prior to ADA and which can't be
"readily" brought into ADA compliance are grandfathered and can be
left as is. Do you understand what "grandfather" means in this context?


If Jay is willing to bet his business on a 30 seconds google
search, it is his call. But hey, you are the specialist
obviously, and willing to provide Jay with legal advice, your
call to. All I am saying is that the matter might be worth
15mn of a lawyers time, rather than relying on hearsay; I am
even willing to bet that amount with Jay: if I am wrong, I'll
pay the 15mn laywers time, if I am right, I got a night free
at the inn, what do you say?

He wouldn't be betting it on a 30 second Google search, he'd be betting
it on the US Department of Justice. I'd say this is a pretty reliable
and authoritative source where the ADA is concerned. And I didn't
provide Jay or anyone else with legal advice. I provided a link to a
page at the DOJ site which addressed the topic at hand.

You really need to polish up on your reading comprehension.

I wouldn't bet a plug nickel on anything a lawyer would say as they
aren't the one's who enforce the ADA.
