Actually, for the bar, if you use the classic mode (or old bar I  
think they call it) it works fairly well with screen readers.  That  
way, you can also sign up to receive bar discussions via email.   
That's how I participate.
I agree, that since they've changed their format last year, things  
got *real* hard to access, but that's a result of the software they  
use, not a conscience design decision on their part.
It's extremely unfortunate that they didn't test compatibility before  
upgrading to the new web software, but that's the nature of the beast  
unfortunately.  If you want to complain to someone who *might* help,  
I'd say complain to the shopping cart software folks.  I don't  
remember which one it is, but I'll find out and post if folks are  
really interested in pushing it.  I did complain to the makers, but  
received no response, so I don't know how much good it will do, but  
perhaps if more than one email comes in, they might actually pay  
attention.
