.... sigh.  This is getting old Graham.  Yes I am serious.  I really
do use Flash for more than just YouTube videos.  It's a sad fact of
various websites... I already named one site.  you want me to tell you
again and again?  I have external and internal (to my employer and the
companies we/I contract out to) websites that require Flash.  What, do
you want to go and personally inspect each one?  I can't link most to
you because they are not public (behind VPNs).

.... no, you go and find them yourself - your demand is actually
unprovable unless you have an account with the bank.

As it stands, I don't feel the need to prove myself to someone who is
busy attacking everyone who disagrees with his viewpoint.

You raised a legitimate question, and it was explained by pretty much
every single reply to you here that it is not *yet* acceptable to
consider this option.
