Oh I don't care about whether or not people use Flash websites. Have at it. I have Flash installed on all my PCs and Macs. I've even been known to load an ebedded flash applet a time or two...
You just can't have it both ways though. You can't rag on the iPhone or iPad for not having Flash, without also having to hear iPhone and iPad users remind you that Flash is a dieing technology.
I think you and I just have differing views on technology. I'm all about progress and efficiency, admittedly at the cost of leaving people behind and also with some of the pains of early adoption. You seem to be more concerned with sticking with what already works and what is already mastered.
Ultimately, both sides have their pros and cons.
Edit: Also, just to be clear, you don't have to keep reminding me not to take things personally. The only things I take personally are personal attacks. All this other stuff... if I seem like I'm defending something, it's because I'm defending something I believe in. I'm not defending myself personally.
