I have to say Kevin is doing an incredible job remaining collected and professional even amongst the unprofessional comments from both the pro-Flash and anti-Flash.
Crashing seems to be mostly directly correlated with pseudonymous Apple-polishing on webforums.... ;-)
(btw, if you're sincerely trying to improve your own experience, there's a quick set of diagnostics here: http://blogs.adobe.com/jd/2010/02/troubleshooting_player_sta... )
Like I said; no amount of effort on your part is going to make us forget our experiences with your suck ass plugin crashing our browser every day. Thankfully, there are Flash blocker plugins that make this a more rare event.
Your inability to understand this does explain why Flash is getting worse instead of better though. So thanks for that.
