Animated gifs (89a) shouldn't skew your log files at all. They are designed
to load once. They then run out of memory. You can even disconnect your
session and they will still run. Try it.
        Server push is another story. But I can't imagine anyone still using
that for animations.
        Like anything, animated gifs can work if used wisely and in
moderation. No need for lightening strikes. Stay calm, folks.
