Michael: Fair point. However, I wasn't suggesting that anyone that
Steve | Tuesday, 04 September 2007 | 7:15 amMichael: Fair point. However, I wasn’t suggesting that anyone that doesn’t think Flash is a useful tool is insane. What I was trying to say was that anyone who accepts his arguments at face value without researching first isn’t of sound mind.
