Nope, only under netscape.

Am I the only person to find these little animated icons extremely
irritating?  They may look nice but add nothing to the real content
of the page IMO.  I thought those horrible little construction logos
were nasty, but now there are animated ones.

Certainly under netscape all they do is cause contant disk access
whilst you're trying to read the real contents of the page.

4 lines are the generally accepted maximum sig length, and the correct
signature separator is '-- '.
