Quoting Mark's tech help (markindavis at hush.com):

If you do, beware of an extremely common pitfall:  Feedback mechanisms
on corporate Web pages most commonly send your feedback, if anywhere,
solely in the hands of the Web development staff, i.e., the technicians
and managers who specified Flash and whose jobs are dependent on it.

According to this article three days ago, quoting Opera Software ASA CTO
Håkon Wium Lie, that is _not_ the case:

Which reminds me of the time, about ten years ago, that I found myself
having a rather jovial e-mail conversation with the staff of that
Oslo-based company.  I think they expected to hear hostility from me as
a Linux / open source person because they're a proprietary software
company (which is a bit sad, I think).  They were quite won over when I
pronounced them 'my second favourite bunch of crazy Norwegians.'  (They 
could doubtless guess from my surname to whom I was awarding first place.)

I'm guessing you're referring to the purchaser that decreed inclusion of
skeevy contents in SourceForge.net-downloadable installers.  Happily,
the site has recently been sold again, and the new operator reversed
that policy immediately.  Or so I recently read.
