With all due respect Bert-Jan if you had just half a brain
you would be a half wit.

It you can't check the header info on my postings and realize that I
am
on a Macintosh and NOT A PC then sir I cannot help you with your
inabilities on your own computer any more than you can help me
solve my problem on mine.

FROM DOWNLOAD.COM

Regading X-NEWS..... Requires Windows 95/98/Me/Nt/2000/XP

Now just what were you promising again Sir....

Well mister Shiver, from what I am seeing from ALL of your post that I
have read is that there is nothing to see that you are using a mac. This
is the first time I found out. And that is because you told me.

But as I was just trying to help and this help obviously was not for
you, maybe you could just tell me so, and not start calling me a half
wit.

Being a civil and mechanical engineer I think I am not qualified for
being any kind of wit.
On top of that I am Dutch so if my language skills are beneath the level
of proper understanding for you, perhaps that is the reason.


Having said that I can not resist. And this is not to you, shiver,
because you obviously can't (technically) read yEnc.
Talking about the use of yEnc. If I would like to communicate here, I
communicate in English, because I bet only few of you out there can
communicate with me in Dutch. So I ADAPT to what is offered to me
because I want to know what is offered to me. When I first met the first
yEnced posts I wondered what they were, found out and found out ho to
read them.
You don't hear me crying about a repost in Dutch please.

Kind regards to all,

That depends a bit on the context.
you could say things are wonderfully beautiful or good, then you say
"prachtig" pronounced: [prAhg-tig]. "A" like in calm and "i" like in pig
and the g's should sound a bit like you're clearing your throat.
"schitterend" could be a good second.
Pronounced "[sgIt-uh-ruhnd]" again "g" and "i" as above and the u's as in
"duh".

To give this post some aviation topic here are some planes in dutch.

Jet fighter= straaljager [straal-yaager] aa as in "aaaaahrgh"

Plane = vliegtuig [vleeg-tu.eeg] u as in "duh", immediately followed with
an "ee" sound as in bee. Like "oi" but then more "uh.i"

Glider = Zweefvliegtuig. [swayve- rest as above] rather hard "w"

Bomber = Bommenwerper [bOhm-uhn-wer-puhr]

Landing Gear = Landingsgestel [lAhn-dings-guh-stEll]

Passanger plane = Passagiervliegtuig [pAh-sah-sheer- same again]

Want some more, just holler.


Good Luck!

Say what you want and get as mad as you want but as a civil and
mechanical engineer one would think that you would do some homework
before offering anybody advice.

Since your using a newsreader type program I will assume that even PC
newsreaders have the ability to show the generally hidden header
information that all newsgroup postings contain.

For example here is part of yours.

User-Agent: Xnews/5.04.25

The user agent line tells me the name of the program your using which
even I realize is a PC program

Now here is some of my header information.

User-Agent: YA-NewsWatcher/5.0.1

It well show to a well informed person that since YA Newswatcher is a
Macintosh program then I am logically using a Mac.

And if you were not familiar or sure of what is was then I remind you
that GOOGLE is your friend.

And since it would only take me a few moments to do a google search on
your programs name to discover it was a PC program then common sense
also tells me that it would only take you a few moments with google to
discover that YA Newswatcher is a program for the Macintosh.

Checking headers is pretty common amongst those who post to newsgroups.

This is not rocket science.

I appreciate your effort and my reponse may have been boorish by this
groups general standards but with the agitation caused by a few
newcomers who are taking delight in destroying the harmony of this
group
I get a little upset when someone tries to be helpful when it is
obvious they havn't a clue as to the basics of the problem.

As I have stated earlier in this thread I am looking for solutions not
advice.

I have had many dozens of people in good faith giving advice over the
years but I have yet to hear from even one person that actually has a
solution to the problem.

I am not mad, I am jsut stating that I possibly do not qualify as a half
wit, and that my education (and diploma's) does proof that I can use my
brain.

Yes, you are right, I have disabled this feature, because to me it is
mere gibberish and causes me to scroll further down in a post I like to
read. Mea culpa.

For what it's worth, simply seeing "YA-News-reader" mentioned, does not
ring any bells for me to automatically assume you are a Mac user.
If I had seen it, I indeed could/should have looked it up, but this idea
would not have come up in me, I can tell you. Because I automatically
assume you all use PC's instead of Macs. On top of that I have never
known that Mac users have problems with yEncs. Mea culpa, Mea maxima
culpa.

Checking headers is pretty common amongst those who post to
newsgroups.

I frown on that but you couldbe right.

This is not rocket science.

obvious they havn't a clue as to the basics of the problem.

I can understand, and I appreciate your appreciation. and in this light
your response might even be explainable.

As I have stated earlier in this thread I am looking for solutions not
advice.

I have had many dozens of people in good faith giving advice over the
years but I have yet to hear from even one person that actually has a
solution to the problem.

In this I can unfortunately not help you. And all that rests me is to
wish you good luck in your quest.
