What is meant by "flicker"?  If you mouse is hovering over the link, 
does it just change to gray or does the color keep trying to change back 
and forth while hovering over the link?

I like to use the hover option where it is one color when seen and a 
different color, but close to the original one, while your mouse is 
hovering.  Say dark green when seen normally and a lighter green when 
you are hovering over the link.

As far as I know, that is becoming a "normal" practice for many sites 
and site developers.

I never heard of any ability, other than blink, to change the color back 
and forth while the mouse is hovering over the link without the mouse 
moving.  I know that "blinking" is something that is frowned upon my 
most people I have talked to and drives other "crazy" while trying to 
read a text on the same screen as a blinking text.  The only use for 
blinking text was for a warning message to catch the eye of a main frame 
terminal operator to do something "soon".  That is what I was told was 
its only use back when I was a main frame programmer for business and 
science applications.
