City controlled airspace?

When I taught at Expressway Airpark in Oklahoma City in the early '70s, I received a stern lecture from the local police regarding touch-and-goes at OKC Downtown Airport. I realized the runway was a challenge for students, but I didn't realize there was a city ordinance requiring full stop landings. Of course the jerk on Unicom never said a word - he was on the phone to the cops. Ya' live and ya' learn.

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

Sure Larry, but you're absolutely the first person to ask or even bring it
up. Does it mess up your newsreader somehow? How did you notice the format
when no one else has complained? I'd seriously like to know - I'm not being
a smartass here.... otherplaces, probably.

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

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.

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.

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.

that all messages are plane ASCII text.

Is this an attempt to stay on topic?

(Sorry, I couldn't resist - I'll go back into my corner now.)

Thanks. I kneaded that. :-(
