Wrong on all points.Wordpress websites crash servers (those that don't use WP-cache) because it doesn't cache content; instead it hammers the database to render each page (unnecessarily so). You don't need 500,000 people to crash a WP website - perhaps a thousand is enough. It's just bad programming. There's nothing wrong without pointing this out. It's good for everyone to point this out. I hope future versions of WP will cache content automatically. People who moan about Flash tend to moan about Flash-only websites where everything, including the navigation and all text content, is included in the Flash file rendering the back button useless and making copy and paste impossible as well as forcing the visitor to learn a bespoke navigation system. Perhaps you can point to blogs that moan about youtube using the .flv file format?Google isn't responsible for allowing "about half of average web publishers to publish at all". What a load of rubbish. There's been free hosting since Angelfire (good and bad). You're putting Google on a pedestal. And 99% of blogs that host Google Ads earn pennies, not even dollars. It's just a bit of milk money to most people.
