NoName antispam06,

You make some good points.  But the reality of the web is simply that flash
is dominant right now and will be for the near future.   The flash issue
should be addressed.   I agree 100%,  the best way to fix this issue is to
build a  safe flash player.  However, first we should focus on creating a
free flash player that works well.  The present free flash players do not
work as well as the Adobie product.  They are slow, tend to hang and
require more resources then the adobie product.

I don't know De Icaza but if he is a specialist in cloning, we should talk
to him asap.   Do you have his contact info?

Cheers!
