This used to be a really good newsgroup before this yEnc crap. I do
not believe anyone should be forced to get more software because a
handful of arrogant idiots will not post in the agreed format. Then
they flood us with it and take over a newsgroup that has worked so
well for many years. I refuse to get another risky program just so
some prick will not do according to what the members of this group set
as guidlines for posting here.


Risky program?
Are you a computer newbie
There are many programs(xnews and Forte agent to nam but afew) that reader
new groups and are in no way "risky"
I do not post with yenc butI can appreciate that some do no have broadband
service and any data compression software helps them to have better access
So if you don't like"new" helpful freeware just ignor the poster who use
Yenc why complain when it won't change their patterns
