that’s my wholly unscientific summary of why the scrolling might not be the best….but the key thing is that you guys are changing it up and trying new things. you might want to think about parsing out an xml file to show the text that supports this flash item to the googlebots and non-flash users….

So glad we have a new 'improved' version of the old marquee tag, even though it's every bit as annoying. Otherwise the rest of the tweaks are fine, but the scrolling is not web kosher by any means.
