I think you're absolutely right.  Really, what I intended with the 
Flash thing was really just a kind of commercial - an attention 
grabber.  As for it's true usefulness aside from that, there really 
isn't much.  They've included a lot more functionality with 
ActionScripting and such since Flash 4, but it's still at base 
something to grab attention.  That's really all I was going for.  I'm 
glad you liked it, though!

I hope not, either...  Here's a question for everyone - if this whole 
thing is going to get off the ground as a self-sufficient entity, 
what do we each need to do in order to make it work?  I mean, the 
community is obviously already in place - you can see it on here and 
at COMMON, but how does that turn into the iNation?  For that matter, 
what is the iNation supposed to be?  Once that gets settled, I think 
things get a lot easier to make something good happen, but that's 
just my opinion on the matter...  Comments?

Thanks,
Erik
