Open letter to Clark and others involved in the yEnc posts earlier
Clark:
Last night my wife and daughter told me I had been very grumpy and
cantankerous all week. After giving me some examples I had to agree with
them. After re-reading our exchange it also appears that I let that sour
mood spill over here. Maybe it’s the heat (been 103-108F all week) but still
no excuse
My own issues with yEnc came about when I could not decode the images even
after downloading two different decoders and they not working with OE so I
just ignored the yEnc posts as I have no download limits and am not on
dial-up. Thanks to Indrek Aavisto’s post I found Fidolook which since
Thursday night has allowed problem free decoding to all the yEnc posts here.
I will still only post in the FAQ recommended formats but at least now I
can see what I have been missing and JPN has some outstanding shots!
What started out as a rational discussion and my suggestions on a couple of
ways to deal with yEnc posts depending on which side of the argument you
fall on since as you so rightly stated in a post that since it’s Usenet
people are going to do what they want as it is not moderated and yEnc is not
going to go away, quickly degenerated into a pointless tit for tat ****ing
match between the two of us. That was never my intention nor do I believe it
was your intention either. I am not a jerk nor do I wish to act like one.
Hopefully this post will end the arguing between us and we can go back to
plane pictures since that is why we all are here.
To the rest of the board I apologize for eating up a lot of download space,
and I wish Clark an enjoyable and relaxing weekend! And to keep on topic I
have added this picture.
