And I see that anything that anyone other than yourself says is always nonsense. I never insisted on anything. Smug re-invented and expanded ! For starters, you insisted that the established guidelines of this group are null and void. Then you insisted that you will post any way you choose and those who can't read your posts can upgrade to your standards or leave. Yes, you need yEnc decoding to see my pictures, Because you insist. but you also need a newsreader, and a computer. So even if I didn't use yEnc, I'd be leaving behind those who lacked that hardware and software. In addition to those who don't want to use yEnc. Perhaps I should just print my pictures and snailmail them out to all! Otherwise I'm "forcing" them to either buy a computer or be "left behind." This is a great idea! Should we send you our mailing addresses? The notion of "struggle" is also phony. As is any other opinion that is not in lockstep with yours. Downloading Agent and clicking "install" is hardly a struggle. For most, this is true. "Struggle" is what I did this morning after I installed a different firewall and found that I could not get Windows to load--that took some computer experience, time, and liberal use of profanity directed at Zone Alarm, Webroot, and Microsoft. Then perhaps you can appreciate those who struggle with lesser issues? There's no struggle in getting yEnc decoding at all--at least not the way I did it. Congratulations! As I've pointed out before, I knew very little about yEnc until the brouhaha on this group, Be honest - you brought the brouhaha to the group! and you don't need to understand it one bit to use it And you don't need a college degree to turn it off. --in fact, it is no more complicated than the UU encoding one person erroneously referred to as "basic." Of course that person's thoughts are erroneous. About the only thing that can be said for sticking with UU encoding only is that it was the way things had always been done. I am totally impatient with that attitude, and I expect that I always will be no matter how old I live to be. I like new things, I like progress. Can you really believe that this entire group should adapt to your impatience and attitudes? And the idea that such attitudes are the exception in older folks is just flat-out ageism. Don's claim would provoke laughter at our local senior center (which is fully computer-equipped). Gee, the senior centers here are fully equipped with giant checkers and dominoes. Where are these centers? Are they LAN wired in each room or are they wi-fi equipped? I'm giving Don the "straw man creation" prize. Thanks but I don't believe you are sanctioned to award prizes. I would offer you one but it appears you are your own best prize. Noise, why don't you just join this group on its own terms and try to enjoy the camaraderie? Who knows, you may make some valuable friends, including myself. I just refuse to stand and salute when you enter the room. gdp |
