Thank you John and others who responded. I have one remaining related

question (famous last words!): Let's say someone from the Yahoo team comes

to check out my site. They're a real person with, I assume, a real browser.

If they have the Flash3 plug-in, they won't see much of the index page

because they'll be whisked away to a Flashed site.  Will they exclaim "Aha!

A redirect scheme! Forget this guy!" and reject my listing?
