I dont care if its been said a thousand times i fail to see the point of
encrypting entries so that they cant be viewed without downloading some
other crap to view them ....whats the purpose of it ..what purpose does it
serve besides ****ing off those who cant view the pics i really dont see

1 It keeps the idiots who insist on using a crippled newsreader from seeing
good stuff. This is a Good Thing(tm).

2 It is also faster, uses less bandwidth, and is more efficient. That is also
a number of Good Things(tm).

My primary reason for using YENC used to be (2). Since encountering idiots
who insist that I must cripple my use of USENET so as to coddle them because
they refuse to use anything but MSOE, my primary reason for using YENC has
become (1). ****ing off morons who have delusions of grandeur and who can't
do a damn thing to stop me is a Good Thing(tm)

BTW... note the headers on Michael Hoare's post. By Alan Erskine's logic, the
two of 'em must be the same person, 'forging' headers. Alan-me-lad, have you
complained to Newsguy about my 'forged' headers yet?
