How printer friendly are animated banners, or is WinInfo spam after all?

For a couple of years I have been a faithfull reader of WinInfo daily update. My provider considered it spam for a couple of months but I took the effort to skim my spambox time after time. It was always worth it. Last week the newsletter got a new face, from the classical text only to highly decorated html. My main problem with that are the many animated banners. I don't mind adds, but just can't get used to reading while something keeps flashing right next to the text I'm trying to understand. That's also my reason for not using a dnj default blog skin. The usual trick to get rid of all movement is the printer friendly link. But even these WinInfo pages keep on wriggling. How do want my printer to print that ? How do you want me to read that ?

I, too, am upset with changes they have made. I don't mind having calm HTML for newsletters, but the fact that they have started sending just links to the content really bothers me.

Now, when I am reading emails on my PDA, I only have a paragraph to read.
