precisely what i feel, there's a great deal of variety in the tactics
employed on this subject, in flash you can have "skip intro" or guff
like that, you can have frames/noframes, and then flash/noflash for
those as well, ending up with 4, get that, 4 different site depending
on whether you want to cater for.  to be honest, for one of the sites
i'm designing (hopefully commercial in the end) i'm writing a flash
site, and a non-flash site, without using tables.  it'll still end up
being a v4 browser or above, but i am taking into account non-fl;ash
users on this one......

some of the larger sites these days say "get flash, or don't bother"
and don't have "lite" sites at all......
