What a lot of effort wasted on crap (and I'm ignoring everything you

wrote below this point, because it was just overheated and silly).


Entertaining, innovative sites rarely use flash or shockwave.

Unimaginative, inappropriate to the medium,

I-watch/make-tv-ads-so-here's-a-crappy-animation sites often use flash.

the formula1 site was the least irritating of the examples offered, but

the thesis still stands I believe. 


here's the one example of flash I've seen that is productive: nice clean

design, useful information, no flying-about distracting text, and this

really would be hard to do as well in html.
