No, you haven't. You haven't posted any URLs at all so far in this
thread.

No news or sports sites that I use are Flash-based. Some of them use
Flash for some applications, but none of them use it in places where
standard text and graphics are more appropriate.

Bollocks. To take one example, the most popular news website in the
world only ues Flash in some very limited aplications (quizzes,
mostly). To remove them would hardly damage the site at all.

Well, duh. Have you thought about what works best for people who don't
just want to present what they make?
