I am fully aware of the irony to this. Really, I want to use what I want to use while making it easier for my friends to hear my voice posts. Yes, I want it both ways, so?

Agree on all points. I think the "problem" with Flash, though, is that AFAIK there are no open-source alternatives.

Actually, the Flash format is open, and there's an 'easily good enough' (i.e. it works with YouTube, for instance) Free impl. of it called gNash.

Flash is an Open format, true, but it is also proprietary (Adobe can change it at any time). And the MP3 patent still applies to it.

Adobe can't change it any time because it'd break all the existing older content.
