I'm not a Flash Guru.  (At present moment :) )

But I'm absolutely agree with Branden. 

Just imagine primitive men. If they didn't teach each other to read and write...

To share the knowledge is kind of human instinct. I suppose.

So, if we don't obey the instincts, we shall die out. :)) Really. Just like a dinosaurs.
