I hate those things.  Quite apart from being visually annoying
animations, I'm sick of staring at some sort of "I'm busy" indicator
with absolutely no indication of what it's doing, what I'm waiting for,
how much longer I might be waiting for, etc.  And I've seen plenty of
spinning busy indicators when nothing is happening, such as waiting
forever and a day for the video to load in a YouTube page, for instance.
So I don't hold them in high regard.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.  I
read messages from the public lists.
