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 in NC |

I've been using it for more than ten years. I don't feel like learning a new program, besides. Sometime that I find the motivation to learn something new, I might try it.

If you want to use a crap pseudo newsreader, why bitch about people who want to use a more efficient modern one? I don't feel like learning a new program, besides. Sometime that I find the motivation to learn something new, I might try it. I guarantee the motivation will not be "so I can see yEnc pictures on newsgroups." So shut up complaining and just ignore the things that are beyond your or your software's capability. |

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, 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. |

No matter how "superior" the yEric format, the majority of the user group
shouldn't be expected to install additional software to view a few pictures. It's simple, if a person wants the majority of the people to see their pictures ... don't post them in yEnc format.

Wayne http://www.soaridaho.com/Schreder Wayne, Not liking one mans politics is ok, but blowing this out of proportion will turn this into a blood-sport. When I say yEnc saves time, how does that translate to being superior software? Who is forcing the "majority" as you put it to install additional software? Your not being forced into anything. If a different transfer method bugs you, don't use it. The picture is still a GIF, JPG, whatever. Remember when we used Z-Modem and X-Modem to transfer? Let's go back to basics and only use ascii. I see people using PGP. Does anyone whimper about that? Of course not! The only reason I have ever heard for not using yEnc is because some people are content to use older software. That's wonderful. Use it and be happy but quit whinning when I an others prefer using a time-saving tool. If you feel that beating your chest and plonking people are the only way to eliminate the pain and suffering you feel for not being able to decode what you COULD decode then have at it. Do I loose S&H greenstamps or something for being plonked? Plonk me daily, I do not care. You seem to forget this is not a private moderated newsgroup where there are rules and such. It's an open public newsgroup shared by hundreds perhaps thousands of newsgroup providers around the world. |
