Re: about user agent headers

Travis,
I stated that Rudy illustrated that changing my user agent would not solve 
anything, therefore there is no problem.
I dare say from your place it is easy to sit in judgment, but  to claim I 
am unwilling to help myself when nothing discussed actually corrects the 
issue, seems rather limited, high handed thinking on your part.
As an example when the patreon website  produced the same cloudflare 
issue, I contacted their accessibility team, and got, for me, the problem 
solved in Lynx the cat.
You know nothing about my personal situation or resources,  let alone 
the companies involved, so i feel  reasonable 
in stating your ignorance says more about you then it does myself.
