I also think that there are too many places for little fingers to get into that move and are pinch points.
wall-e is an industrial robot not a big soft furry creature.

And we love him all the same. :p:
I am the resident dragon and would like to be the first to offer you a very warm* welcome to that slice of the internet we call SGT. This website contains threads with quick twists and turns and I would like to advise you to not try to hard to keep up with them. Please keep your hands, arms, and legs safely inside the website at all times and enjoy your stay. You can expect the Marsupial Welcoming Committee to be along in the future to give you the official welcome.
As for your question, I am not a CM, but from what I can tell, the good encounters far outweigh the bad.
*this instance of warm is actually hot**... very hot
**this instance of hot means that you are now literally on fire, I would like to take this opportunity to apologize for any inconvenience

I think there is a place for flash, but I would really like to see it better optimized. Then again, there are lots of things I'd like to see better optimized. Seems like we just keep throwing hardware at the problem.
In my line of work, if your flash file makes a computer do that, the boss calls up the team head demanding to know who made a 1meg flash file, and why. There's enough bad flash out there tho, to give it that reputation... but if you program it correctly, and you don't bog the file down with a bunch of bitmap graphics, then it won't do that.
Then again, our stuff needs to be able to run on ancient ass computers, since we're in training and education. Training facilities always seem to have have ancient ass computers.
