Re: FLASH: Are the developers of the Flash 4 aliens? :)

	It is a good idea to remember when switching from your same old

comfortable shoes, the new shoe might pinch and that can make you

cranky. That cranky feeling will sometimes get spilled over on the

people the new shoe fits perfectly. It will get easier for you or it

won't, but you should ask yourself why you wrote this email or the

previous one. And what kind of an answer do you expect? I don't feel

Flash needs an apologist and you didn't ask a question anyone could

answer. You submitted a diatribe.
