Personally, I agree. I use almost only lynx, so I don't need to suffer
animations, and I usually think that websites that do not look ok on
lynx are probably not worth my time.
However, I am a bit dissapointed to find out _now_ that all the "Burn
all Gifs" stuff is not possible, for at least some years to come.
After all, gzip's latest version is from '93, so the reasons why we
should burn all gifs are known and understood for some time now.
BTW, for the record: From the two responds I got, it seems to me that
the only way to make portable animations and not infringe copyrights
is to create uncompressed gifs.
