Flashing, Jumping, Frantic Avatars and Smilies --
Do other people find that these animated images are distracting and make the messages difficult to read? Or is it just me? The more frantic ones actually have caused my heart to start to race. I have devised items to stand up against my monitor to block these from my field of vision, and of course I must constantly be moving them. I think it would be nice if more people were aware of this distraction and the energy of their visual aids and that more would choose to treat the other members with nice calm static items. LOL or maybe that is just the "control freak" segment of me doing the typing. Anyway, I already looked it up on the web and know many others find the moving images difficult to deal with.

And to those that choose to help out with this -a zillion THANK YOUS!!!
