The height of arrogancy is to ignore the wishes of the majority here! And
that means no yenc.


I'm really REALLY tired of all this, but judging by the posts on both
sides, opinion is about evenly split, and with a few more discovering
easy, free decoders, the "no yEnc" position may now be a minority.
True enough, those who post aren't a random sample (and it would be
impossible to get one since the relevant population cannot be
satisfactorily defined). Then again, those who voiced an opinion when
the guidelines were created could not have been a random sample
either, for the same reason.

I just don't see why the argument continues. Everybody posts the way
they want, keeping any potential consequences in mind, and everybody
does whatever they want or need to do to see the pictures--none of
which requires great effort or expense by any stretch of the
imagination. Sheeessshhhh!

The gain would be huge--not better pictures, or quicker download
times, or anything like that; just no more yEnc discussion!
