Thanks Guy.
It's nice to know someone recognizes I have no self-interest in this.
I've been involved with the FutureSplash now Flash Player since it's
beginnings.
I just want Adobe to keep it cool with us rooting for them, they
should also support us.
No crusades here; just want to make sure Adobe does not fall victim to
what we all as human being can, Power.
And the Flash Player is now more powerful in an abstract since than
even Windows was in the 90's.
I'll leave it all at that.

Hi Robert
I agree that there is something vaguely distasteful about Adobe
becoming a competitor to its developers (which Scene7 seems to be),
however I also doubt that this is likely in the foreseeable future
to have a significant impact on any of us. However, it is definitely
worth letting Adobe know that we are watching closely and that
developer loyalty is earned, not a given.
Although this list is primarily to discuss code, I think it's valid
to have an occasional post like this that discusses Flex's place in
the market relative to competing products, as we are all making an
investment in this technology and therefore have a stake in its
success.
Given the volume of email this list generates, I think the
occasional thread like this should be tolerated. I don't like to see
people being howled down by a vocal few who think they know what's
best for the silent majority and I don't see any need to be rude to
anyone by using expressions that could be interpreted as personal
insults.
I also think if you start a thread like this you need to be mindful
that it will be seen as off-topic by many on the list and so should
be kept brief and to the point. When your topic becomes a personal
crusade it's time to take it off-list.

First of all, this is very relevant to the FLEX coders development
community.
