I already did. Virtually any entertainment site, any news site, any
sports site, and any educational (WBT) site. You pick it they are all
using Flash. And they use flash because that is what the users all
want. They would abandon the site if they removed the flash. Flash
content as well as Flash as a means to host other content is what they
come for. And all the sites make money

I did not say a site 100% flash. I am actually against sites like
that (google earlier posts for proof)

I can not disagree with that

Why? I don't like all flash sites. I like sites that are flash
heavy.
