[NetBehaviour] Potentially Harmful

[Alan Sondheim]

There is a very famous case in Japan, of a children's anime which created 
seizures in children; later it was shown on a newscast and even more 
people had them. I've always had to be careful with my own work which has 
flickered at times. - Alan
