found time to introduce the "feature" "animated gif support" (which I'm sure everyone who wants to get on others' nerves but no one else has been waiting for), even to send out a public announcement, but no time for to offer a checkbox to turn (vacuous) animations off for people who don't want them 😠

priorities ...

(already got hit by one before this was rolled out to desktop, had to delete the message since there was no other way to turn the maddening thing off.)
