A good way of informing someone they missed an alt attribute:
On a sidenote: there's an alt tag missing for an image at your homepage, causing the W3C validator to fail. Just thought you'd like to know.
A less good way of informing someone they missed an alt attribute:
Just a though [sic], when you pride youself [sic] on accessibility, you should make sure your statements are true. Your homepage is not strict XHTML [...] suck it up and be more careful.
When your first contact with someone you don't know ends up implying they're a liar, then delivers a blunt directive over a relatively easy-to-make error, in a world where no one is perfect 100% of the time... you may just be doing more harm than good with that second approach.
Just a though.
