a post with a bunch of yEnc

Ron, why all of the yEnc?

Have you not noticed that nobody ever uses that format, in this group?

It sure would be more to polite of you, to use what is considered standard
in a group.

Plus, most will not take the time to pull up your pictures.

Who cares why? It's a format thats been around for years now and a lot of
people appreciate the format because of the file size reduction. If the
files were another format I would still download them but yEnc is an
acceptable user format that cuts time and size.

For the last several years I've been here, I've seen frequent use of yEnc.
Of course, if you keep plonking people who use it, you limit what you see.

People who post using yEnc don't get a thing from it except a reduction in
the time and file sizes they transfer. It's not an a ego thing. It's just
another of the many ways you can post.

It sure would be more to polite of you, to use what is considered
standard in a group.

It might be more tactful to ask a poster to re-send in a format you can
decode rather than be arrogant and strike out at posters using the yEnc
format just because you can't/won't use it.

Plus, most will not take the time to pull up your pictures.

Your absolutely correct. There are some very narrow-minded people here who
consider yEnc to be so bad they believe their computers will get cooties
and the hard-drive will fly-apart.

If not viewing a yEnc post or plonking people makes you feel better go for
it. It's not like a poster is out any money or redeemable user points if
you fail to view it.

The results last time were 50% were against yEnc and 50% were for it. The
final word was download what you want and pass on the rest.

Before anyone gets crazy and says the rules of the group are so and so, it
was already established there are no rules posting using yEnc.

Clem, I seem to remember you giving someone a hard time for posting in
French! : )

crappy programmes just to view that crap?

Be nice, Gene! At least THIS group ought to practice civility and
exclude the sociopaths one finds elsewhere.

Everyone has a view, the views are not mutually exclusive, and not one
of us is tiotally correct.

I've spent a small amount to buy Agent and it takes care of all that
for me. I couldn't tell it it were this format or that format. Agent
just produces the lists and the pictures.

As does my favorite, Xnews, a freebe.

If I understand you, a program that does less for a user is a good program
and a program that provides more alternatives is a bad program.

Why didn't I think of that? So easy a caveman can do it!

What are the percentages on how many people use OE as their newsreader,
versus all the rest combined? OE 80% vs. the rest?

Probably close to that.

People insisting on using yEnc is about like the gas stations stocking only
diesel fuel, when only a small percentage of cars on the road can use it.

After all, diesel is better; far better fuel economy, right? So everyone
out there, get a different vehicle, or carry your own refinery around behind
your car, so you can make something out of the diesel that your car can
burn. That makes as much sense as insisting on posting using something that
only some people can look at, without going to extra effort to do so.

That is the same argument you are making. yEnc may be much, much better,
but it can not be used (or burned) in most people's computers (cars) unless
they get a new newsreader (car) or some add on program (refinery) so they
can read it.

I'm not going to change newsreaders, or add a program, just because you
want to carry only diesel. I have never found an add on for OE that does
not make it buggy as heck. If anyone can suggest an add on that does not
cause problems for them, I might consider trying it. Otherwise, I'll do
without those pictures, thank you.

Jim, why would ANY computer savy person even think about using OE
as a news reader? Give Xnews a try...you'll never go back to OE.

Jim,

I don't quite understand your analogy because the newsreaders that decode
yEnc also decode the other formats as well such as Xnews, so in the true
sense a gas station IS serving more than diesel.

The only things about yEnc that makes it a good program are what I pointed
out earlier, The file size is reduced thereby reducing the download/upload
times. Not all people use highspeed Internet and that makes using yEnc a
wise choice for them.

I'm not telling anyone what to use to decode a file. I do believe that any
program that makes life easier is worth looking into.

As far as OE having problems with add on programs, the problem most of the
time is with OE itself. As a stand alone product it's great, but add 3rd
party programs to it and it can develope problems.

What get's me fired up are those people with a holy attitude that condem
people for using the program of their choice.

I have noticed an increase in the use of RAR files lately in other groups.
Just because I don't have an application to decode them doesn't mean I
should demand only those programs be posted which I can decode or for
whatever reason are easier for me to use.

It's a free world and your entitled to decode what you please, but I have
to say there have been some excellent shots in yEnc you are missing.
