The "complaints" we about mis-labeled off-topic posts to the PHP list,  
and "can I have an account" Gmail posts.

Even your message about flash and PHP is labeled "Re: gmail"

Chris Shifflett's post about "There was a discussion about Gmail last 
night with some guys from 
Google:http://3gp.us/videos/20040911003347687.3gp"
gave us that wonderful link... to a handheld video clip of nothing. 
Seriously.. look at it.. handheld video of a meeting, not in progress, 
where "nothing is happening".

When you suggested people complained about Flash having nothing to do 
with PHP, I felt it necessary to respond -- the complaints are about 
quality of these posts.

I guess I just don't "get it" so I will stop now.
