except even if it were true that 98% of users have Flash installed 
(and an adequate version at that), many users have their security 
settings set to disable Flash by default...

remember, that represents a user... there are people without Flash, 
who don't have it for good reason...  just because you as a 
developer don't have an issue with it doesn't mean that it's the 
correct approach...

and if you respond to your users the same way you respond to 
your peers, then you might have to rethink your approach to 
development...
