Re: FLASH: Moonfruit.com - portal redesign

[Alias|Rob]

Mike,


            I've given this a lot of thought, and I have to say; what real harm

does that kind of thing do? I've yet to discover anything that flash can do that

is any worse than crashing a browser. Also, moonfruit's business model is far

more complex than a simple banner sales=cash  equation. Plus, we have a team of

people whose job is to look for potentially dangerous or t&c infringing

material.  If people want to create sites that can send people elsewhere, or

crash their browser, than that's their own problem. Sooner or later they'll have

to grow up.


Sincerely,


Alias|Rob
