Well no, it's entire pointFULL actually. I mean take my blog site:
http://www.backwater-productions.net/hatter-blog/
Hell, it its current form I can't even link to specific entries! o_O
Indexing...kind of an important thing...unless you want to rely on a
hybrid mix of HTML and Flash...which personally I just find all too
deficient on the whole.

Well it's not really about search engines so much as it is for user
convenience if they want to bookmark a SPECIFIC section (who wants to
have to dig back through a site just to find a particular
page/section).

You're right, Flash is VASTLY superior to HTML...especially for text
content. The use of custom embedded fonts, proper font anti-aliasing,
TRUE liquid sizable text...why on earth you would still be using
something as backwards as HTML for text rendering is beyond
me...there's simply no need. Oh and before some stupid doorknob gets
extra special ed and pops off at the mouth, you're wrong, you CAN
select and copy text in a Flash file.
>Bookmarking is a bit of a bugbear with Flash,
....not really, my form works fine...it's a lil awkward on presentation
or portfolio sites, but for a small, near instant loading Flash
file...oh it'd be work awesome, you probably wouldn't even realize you
were using a pure Flash site (if it was made correctly). For example,
take my blog again, the entire site size is only 100 kilobytes.

....why do people keep molesting that? Didn't they fix the whole Flash
in Vista snafu like...a month ago? *rolls eyes*

No, no, be quick to write it off, Flash sucks, really, don't use it.
