Well done, and well put Mazen. Good quotation from the article:
Explaining the ramification of the ruling, Mazen M. Basrawi, Equal
Justice Works Fellow at Disability Rights Advocates, noted that: "the court
clarified that the law requires that any place of public accommodation is
required to ensure that it does not discriminate when it uses the internet
as a means to enhance the services it offers at a physical location."
I think that the effect of the ruling is exactly why this will be fought
hard by other retailers across the country - appeals will abound on this
topic?
Speaking strictly for myself, online shopping sure would make my life easier
as the Christmas shopping season approaches.
I'm going to pull this case up and read it through - I'd really like to know
more about it.

Today's definition is drawn from "The Devil's Dictionary" by: Ambrose
Bierce.
"Cynic: N. A blaggard who insists on seeing things as they really are
instead of how they ought to be. Hence the custom among the ancient Cythians
of plucking out the eyes of a Cynic to improve his vision."
