Crippled newsreader, crippled newsfeed, delusions of power. Sucks to be
you.

How old are you?

It is obvious that very few of you care whether I am here or not;

Not the case at all.

All they want is for you (and or others) to post within limitations that
allow non geek people to look at all of the pictures posted.

I believe that would be summarized by:

Not too many pictures per day. 40 has been suggested as a top number.

Post using formats that the newsreader used by the vast majority of reader
use. That would be jpegs, and OE, respectively.
You have to remember that not everyone has the geek skills to do much more
than that, or the aptitude or desire to learn any higher geek skills.

Post in resolutions that require no more than (my arbitrary limit) of 250
KB. You have to remember that many people do not have broadband
connections, and are not able to, either by limitations of money or distance
from telephone switches for DSL or by the lack of cable systems in their
neighborhoods that offer cable modems.

I hope you reconsider, and can continue within the limitations that many on
the group have expressed as deal killers for them.

To make it clear enough even for those who have room temperature IQs:

Actually, junior; I've got an IQ of 151 (WAIS III, November 17, 2001).

And I've known *many* folks with as high or higher IQ's than your arbitrary
"everything's relative" quotient, who couldn't tie their own shoes...
junior. I've read many of your follow-up postings in this group. You
might consider a re-test. Just a suggestion, hon.

Without checking, I think it was Will Rogers who said, "Everyone is
ignorant about something." Welcome to splits, PARs and RARs.

Why hamper the rest of us with postage stamp sized pictures? I got
broadband for a reason!!!

My nephew and I were playing a game of chess tonight. In desperation he mockingly tried to cheat. In a poor imitation of an Italian gangster I said, "You want I should beat you up?"
He replied in turn, "I'll kill you first."
"Ah," I replied. "The Sicilian Defense."

I do not intent on resizing them to accommodate anyone. I want my
images large and that is how I keep them

They are not your images.

They're public domain, paid for by taxpayer money.

American taxpayers (chortle)

Your post has disrupted this group for five days.


He's posted excellent pix. Pity you can't see them, but that's _your_ choice
and _your_ problem. Get a better newsreader or set a killfilter. Your choice.

Technology changes; the technology concerning the internet has changed
radically, with all sorts of different formats coming and going. Only a few
have stood the test of time - .rar and .par are only recent and are only
used to post large numbers of files in one piece.

Oh, and I was one of the people who helped explain .rar to those on this
group who didn't know. So, what am I ignorant of?

One of the things that hasn't been mentioned is that there are different
..rar decompressors for different operating systems. That is not a problem
with conventional files like .jpg etc which are recognised by all current
operating systems. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.rar explains the various
versions. Now, if it were that good, why don't all the OS companies simply
incorporate it into their software?

Just like with yEnc - welcome to the world of fad software.

And for your information, there are different IQ tests; each with a
different rating (one one test, I might be 185; but on another I might be
137); the really significant value is the percentage - I'm in the 99th
percentile for my age group - that's the top 1 percent. People in that
range don't have trouble tying their own shoes. I doubt very strongly that
you know anyone in my range of IQ, let alone someone in that range who has
trouble with their shoe laces.

Oh, you mean like what J3's been doing; by posting in a format that very few
on this group want or have any knowledge about? If you mean "control
others" in that context, clearly, you are mistaken; as I have not forced
anyone to aquire software for a specific file type. J3, and the proponents
of .rar have, on the other hand, been the ones trying to control others.
