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've hit on an easy solution that seems to work for me. When I'm
using MicroSuck Outlook (that doesn't support yEnc), I bypass those
pictures. When I'm using XNews (a freebie that does), I enjoy the
pictures. I don't particularly care what format that the poster uses
because it's his or her choice and Usenet bandwidth, in this case,
appears to be a non-issue.

What seems to be incredible to me is the personal attacks on people
that are sharing some great pictures. About the only thing I can say
about that is grow up and get a life.


Being anti-yEns is like saying "why use a fork when have 2 hands"
