Maybe we are being a bit strict with that comment. In fact, when I read the full paragraph it took me a "half-smile" because I caught the "irony" behind it. O.k, not everybody is able to catch the words in the right context and written text (without such "edulcorants" smilies ) can sometimes sound a bit "rude". I understood it was just a joke, and knowing the Adobe Flash trajectory (it is indeed the preferred container for delivering media streaming in almost 95% of Internet A/V content), I took Stan H. comment more than a statistical note than anything else. :-) ← yes, that is an smiley face.
