[thelist] Please tell me why I hate Flash

The rest of this is to farcical to respond to, but I am too evil to 
let this slip under the radar:

Ringmaster: "Deke! Assuming there are 374 million web users and 340 
million of them have the Flash Player, how many DON'T have the Flash 
Player?"

[drum roll as Deke presses his tongue to one side of his mouth and 
drools out the other]

Deke: "Negative 80 million! That's my final answer!" ...

It's beyond me why someone who cares so little for Flash would make 
so much noise about it. I read that the Luddites did stuff like lay 
down on railroad tracks to try to stop the trains ... maybe this is 
similar.
