However, if JPEG-capability was their "bottom line"
and they switched to another browser, then dropping
GIFs will have no effect on them ('cause they ain't
usin' it anyway).

You miss my point. I'm talking about all the "formatting"
GIFs that some sites use. Little markers, bulletpoints,
flotsom & jetsom all over the place. For example:
nwcorner.gif hor.gif hor.gif necorner.gif
vert.gif vert.gif
vert.gif vert.gif
swcorner.gif hor.gif hor.gif secorner.gif
When GIF mode is on (in links), you get all of these GIFs
showing on the screen and the cursor stops on each (to give
you a chance to view it). Cursoring through all this junk
to get to a real link is a nuisance. This problem disappears
when you turn GIF mode off (since the GIF tags are no longer
active, most of them disappear).

No I don't (and I don't remember Trevor either).
I guess remembering stuff is not my strong suit.

The more the merrier.
