Wait till I post a picture! I see the net nannies are alive and vocal as
ever. Jay, I am using the news reader in Netscape 4.2. I am lucky it is functioning at all. Please filter me out.

Truthfully Jay, it comes across to me as whether you leave the toilet
seat up or whether you leave the toilet seat down. All the changes that can be made to my newsreader have been and I can apparently set mine up to screen out html by detecting the codes...and this reader is at least 9 years old.

All the changes that can be made to my newsreader have been and I can apparently set mine up to screen out html by detecting the codes...and this reader is at least 9 years old. It's not a matter of age or moderniy. It's a matter of courtesy to those who read Usenet with non-HTML-capable readers. I do this deliberately, because it allows me to read the groups from whatever computer I'm at and still maintain my position within each group. It's also faster. Similarly, I read email with a text-only reader from the same system, so I can do so from any computer anywhere on the net. That renders me immune to email viruses. I don't use an HTML-capable email or news reader for what turn out to be very good reasons. It' not that I refuse to join the modern era at all. It's that Usenet and email are text media, and using HTML in them is not the way they were designed to be used. The only HTML email I get is from spammers, and HTML email is quite likely to get dropped straight into the bit bucket. Usenet is, if anything, even more text-only. Please respect others' choices, and leave HTML turned off (as you have it now). -- Jay Maynard, K5ZC http://www.conmicro.com http://jmaynard.livejournal.com http://www.tronguy.net Fairmont, MN (FRM) (Yes, that's me!)
