True.

Okay, forget gifs.  Cross out the first instance of the word "gif" in 
the tip above, and replace it with "Flash animation".  AFAIK, you can't 
make a flash background transparent.

So... what's the list etiquette here... do I post an amended Tip 
(resulting in a double-harvest), or just leave it?  For that matter, 
does quoting a tip trip the harvester twice, or does it realize it's 
looking at a duplicate?
