I didn't say that. Still, anigifs have their place (which is not to say
that they aren't overused, far from it -- more than one on a page is
really pushing it). It's just that somewhat more aesthetically pleasing
effects are possible with animated GIFs than with the generally
awful-looking and limited BLINK and MARQUEE tags. Still, I wouldn't even
consider using animations for text effects. IMHO, text should stay still
so I can read it without getting a headache.
