Man, I just looked at your page Erik...  If it had marching band music and the waving rectangle at the end looked a bit more like a flag.... I'd have stood up and saluted.  My congratulations on a nice piece of work.

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
