I pity people like this. While technology passes them by, they're going to
hold out, blaming EVERYONE for a handful of bad uses. Meanwhile, content
like that available on the Flashforward site goes on right past them, and
cutting edge application development sails right by them.

Most of the time, when you dig, these responses basically boil down to "I
don't know how to use Flash, so I'll bash it".
