Well, it did not work on mine.  I access the news via Windows on a PC.  The 
form feeds were displayed as a graphical symbol instead of being 
interpreted.  So, I could scroll up and down as thought it was all one 
continuous message.  Hence, this was not, I repeat, NOT an animation.  Sorry 
to spoil your fun; I would have liked to see it too.
