There are different ways of "actually helping". Handicaps are precisely the 
problem, particularly the totally needless _artificial_ handicaps created by 
common web site styling. One way of helping is reporting they exist to those 
who may be empowered to remove them, which isn't so hard as getting anyone 
with the power to acknowledge anything should be done about them.
