Any contacts at MS where we could deliver a little petition?  hehe...  Or I
could build an online database to reach more people... just a thought.
Would be nice to have like 5000 names of people that are against it.

So more of us move our sites across to Flash instead of html as I presume M$
can't access the proprietary file format with their hijacking
no-so-"smart-tags". After all, what's to stop M$ from "accidentally"
releasing
into the wild versions of IE that don't acknowledge the meta tag and add
links
to your text regardless??

Damn but I still think this is paramount to **copyright infringement of our
content**!!
