I think the topics of Flash usability and accessibility are both
interesting.  It's a matter of knowing your audience, and deciding who
you're going to exclude from the party, or how difficult you're going to
make for them to get in.

Expecting someone to have IE or NetScape in order to gain the benefits of
the basic GUI elements on an intranet might not be unreasonable.  Perhaps
your on-line store will allow blind users on a cell phone to check their
order status, but not surf the Flash-based interactive "design your own
shirt" section.

But I suspect this is the wrong list for discussing Flash at all.  Does
anyone know of an alternative list?
