It's called flasterbation, both Reelworld and IQ Beats suffer from it. It's great on the first visit but then drives you nuts. I think we went through a phase of total flash that is now recinding, partially because of accessability although Adobe is working on accesability in flash. But it's like caviar – nice in very small quantities occasionally.
