Re: FLASH: Re: CONFIRMED IN THE NEWS

[Sam Michel]

Hello Ted,


Why have you sent this email to a mailing list, which is clearly about the

Flash plug in from Macromedia and not about marketing schemes? I'd

appreciate it, if you didn't post messages like this again.

>> 

>> That's it folks......its that simple......the $5 is yours!
