I must say I've never seen a pro-Flash person acknowledging that 99.9%
of the Flash usage is done badly.
Google Video is a nice example of more or less good Flash usage,
although it's a shame they say "Download for Windows/Mac" instead of
"Download as AVI" - but that's got nothing to do with Flash ;-)

If you suspect that, you didn't understand a single thing about the
usability drawbacks I told you about. Not being able to use a
scrollwheel, loss of the backbutton-functionality, and fonts that
don't scale along with the browser's font, are all too common practice
with Flash websites.
I love new technology, as long as it's good technology. I've had my
mouse with tiltwheel for a short time, and I'm completely hooked to
the new functionality.

capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the
safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?
