Just FYI, I noticed but not sure why I didn't bother mentioning the HTML.

You are the rare person that responds favorably to this request.

I have asked others, and almost always, they come back with a smart assed
response, or ignore you.

There are others out there with the html running away, but I rarely say
anything, either. It has sort-of become convention for usenet groups to use
plain text formats. In my newsreader, the html font choices are narrow,
smaller and harder to read, and it behaves differently with line wraps.

I like reading the plain text better, 5 to 1.

Thanks

But, can you learn to turn off html encoding for Usenet articles?

To me it is a pain in the ass as I have to tell the news reader to
ignore all the junk, a piece at a time, before I can go to the next
article.

When I first started all of this I was completely amazed at the

Outside of a funnily-placed carb and another couple cylindars, you
could probably bold a C150 engine into a bug and run it just fine.

The technology of propulsion for small aircraft lags greatly behind
the times.

No it doesn't, fjukkwit

Does the federal government license Constitutional rights?

No, but there -is- a certificate.

HTML wastes bandwidth (often multplying the size of a post by ten),
contributes nothing, and can be dangerous (depending on the reader and
the HTML codes involved). USENET is a text medium. If it can't be said
in plain text, this isn't the place for it.

No.

Do you understand the difference between a right and a privilege?



The former is something to which one has a just claim; the latter is
granted to one by an entity with the power to do so.

It is a long standing principle of Usenet, like the preference for
bottom-posting, that all messages are plane ASCII text. Coding your
articles in HTML serves no useful purpose, and only serves to increase
the size of articles needlessly. There's more information about this
specific topic he http://members.fortunecity.com/nnqweb/ncaps.html

And general Usenet information is available he

The newsgroup news.newusers.questions is specifically for newcomers to
newsgroups and the Internet in general. It is a forum in which they
can ask questions about newsgroups and the Internet and hopefully get
useful answers from other more experienced users.

Now why the FAA uses one term for the paper it issues and another for the
paper issued by all other nations is beyond my meager ability. It may be
easier to understand quantum mechanics. ;-)

Not at all hard to understand...
A License gives you legal rights... Some countries issue a Pilot
License...
A Certificate attests to a level of competence... The USA issues an
Airmans Certificate...

Your state drivers license gives you the legal right to operate a
motor vehicle and you may exercise that right at will and without
interference from the state.. For the state to take that license away
it must be able to prove to the court that there is an overriding
legal reason for the taking of something that is your 'right'....

A certificate (in this case the Airmans Certificate) does not confer
legal rights. Your airmans certificate gives you the 'privilege' of
flying only as long as Ms. Administrator of the FAA chooses. It can
be revoked at will, then you have to take the FAA to court and prove
that they had no reasonable cause for the revocation...

So the difference is sharp and clear...
To revoke a drivers license THEY must first prove that there is
adequate reason..
To get back your airmans certificate YOU must prove they were wrong in
revoking it...

If the entity with the power must grant it, is it a right or a privilege?
