Here's a selection the 302's I got thrown.  Some are for your requirements for Macromedia Flash.  I have IE6 with no flash (it
annoys the @#$#$% out of me).  As soon as I hit your site I have to wait for five minutes, while the browser runs away to get the
flash player with nothing displaying (I'm on  56K dialup).  I declined the SW Flash downlaod and canned the M$ ActiveX control and
never did get to see anything on your page.

That's according to Naviscope anyway (http://www.naviscope.com/):
