Just thought I'd add another voice in the "I care" crowd. I don't want any 
proprietary software on my PC, *especially* the crap that Adobe (sometimes) 
bothers to release for Linux/x86-64, and I'm incredibly grateful to all the 
Gnash developers (and the Debian packagers - Miriam Ruiz, et al :-) for 
everything that *does* work with Gnash, even if it isn't perfect.

Sorry to hear that reliable funding won't be available for further development 
of Gnash, but, well, sometimes life is like that. I hope that funding does 
appear from somewhere, and even if it doesn't that some minimal progress can 
continue to be made, but if not, it's not *that* big a deal. Non-working flash 
is not the end of the world.

Thanks for all the hard work,

Adam.
