since posting the article i have had several messages from people alleging
that gif sites have been shut down by NSF officials and that a black market
is alive. Addresses of such sites should not be publicly posted as this
leads to shutdown. If anyone has addresses send them along to me....Maybe
what we need is a mailing list...? I suggest cells of three....;->
