I completely agree!  It is totally unacceptable to send messages with
animated crap in it to the list.  In fact, while I'm at it I'm sick
of this corporate disclosure disclaimer bs.  People, please don't
send that crap here, it's a waste of space when we get 1 line of
content and 2 pages of disclosure crap.  It isn't that hard to pick
up the phone and yell at your IT personnel to cut that crap for
messages going to this list.  I'd even go so far as to suggest that
messages with such content be autofiltered as spam.

Cheers,
Nicholas
