I can heartily recommend the Flashblock extension for moz/firefox
as a defence against this kind of nonsense, without removing the
possibility of seeing what's on offer at one's own discretion.
(In the event that Fred finds a way around flashblock, I'm sure the
flashblock developers will be pleased to work out a way to defeat that
too.)
However, I've no idea where some authors get their crap code for
dealing with the flashblock situation. Some of them presume to inform
me that my browser is incapable of displaying Flash - right next to
the flashblock button which would start the presentation; others tell
me that I *must* ("must"???) upgrade to the latest version of the
Flash plugin, despite the fact that I already *have* the latest
version of the Flash plugin. It's almost enough to convince a chap of
the equivalence of Flash with GIGO. Shame, because there /are/ some
good uses for it.
(Have I been trolled?)
