Note that since we moved to the new server last month this is not really a
major concern any more.  However, this does not imply there are not
practical reasons why extremely huge animations should not be posted (two MB
is at the upper limit).  After all, people still have to be able to download
them.

Those newsreaders that support it will mostly do it automatically.  So if
one doesn't know about the limit, one might not even notice what the
newsreader does.
