Just ignore these idiots and they'll go away.

You use an out of date pseudo news reader and an ISP that charges most of its
users 15 cents or so per Mb (Yes - Mb, NOT Gb) and you complain about posters
using a format that is handled by just about every reputable newsreader and
saves over 25% of user download and even more importantly over 25% of news
server storage.
