Re: FLASH: Re: PLEASE KILL THIS THREAD - RE: Yada....yada....yada-I'm outtahere!

There's (was?) an other mailing list, flashpro (along with many others, i think). It's dedicated to be the professianal list of Flashers. It worked well a month our two ago:However, now I only receive a few mails - weekly. It seems to me that most of the people at flashpro moved to this list, but I think they're still in flaspro too.

I saw mails from most of the above mentioned masters at flashpro. Maybe if some of us would move to flashpro... that list could be the pro side of flashing - and only that.


BTW, I like Flasher-L, and I also like the OTs (except religious wars). We're humans first, and programmers / artist second - and we like chating and having fun. (Maybe I can say this in the name of the others here). And, for e.g. it's important, that when you ask about multiple monitor systems or programmable button mouses, you ask this as a Flash user from other Flash users. I didn't interested in how good is a prog. button mouse for Quake - I like to use it for Flash.

If some of us will move to flaspro, i will surely post and re-post my strictly Flash subject mails to that list. I'm not  an too active member of this list, but some other (more active than me) maybe follow... while still being on Flasher-L too.
