Just one "plug" for Flash

I have to concur. If you MUST use flash, at least provide a way to
access the site without it.
I do not have flash installed and will NOT install it. It has it's uses.
Unfortunately it has been abused way too much on certain sites I
frequently visit. So I had to uninstall it just to get rid of the
annoyance factor. I was in Ukraine last year and had to access some of
those sites while there and let me tell you it is a real pain to have to
wait for some stupid flash movie to download over a 14K modem that drops
the connection frequently. It's a real pain when what should take 15
minutes turns into a grueling 2 hours just to read a few webpages.
