I never received an answer. So, once another credit card company gave me the same cashback offer, I stopped using them. (Most companies' sites use Flash--I guess their web designers convince them that it attracts people, rather than annoying them, slowing down the site, and everything else that Flash does. However, it seems that only Citibank hasn't upgraded to get rid of this known transparency bug.) Yes, I even suggested to them that they take 2 minutes and google citicards.com flash linux and that they would find that various people had posted on their blogs or elsewhere that they no longer used their Citibank credit card because of it, but I guess they felt they were doing so well they don't need it. Perhaps this attitude is one reason they're doing so poorly these days. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Principal Snyder: It's fuzzy-minded liberal thinking like that that gets you eaten. -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
