My $.02 (of course):


If one is a Flash designer working on a Mac, where might one suspect

would be the best place to be in order to receive any info regarding

potential forthcoming problems that might interfere with one's

productivity capacity?


I can't think of a more logical choice than this list. Who other than

the folks on this list would have such a keen interest in *preserving*,

and even improving, their Flash productivity level?


Why would anyone running on "PC's only" even read a post about Mac OS 9?

The science of Subject Headers is not a difficult one to master. (Though

many on this list fail to use it to their own potential benefit.)


Besides, if Frederico *hadn't* done exactly what he did here, he'd end,

up in the weeks to come, with many dozens of people up his ass about

getting them out of the trouble they'd gotten themselves into ...

trouble that cripples or even kills their productivity, the source of

their income.


I surely wouldn't begrudge all the PC users here a post (or even a whole

*thread*!) about some problems they might have down the road, and how

best to avoid them.


If anything, Frederico just increased the future net worth of our list

members as-a-whole by many thousands of dollars. And all some people can

do is gripe about it. Is that camaraderie? Sheesh.
