Ahhh, but your are wrong, Mr. Top Poster. kack

The term "our group" has been used several times by different people,
perhaps not in this thread but in the overall yenc conversations.

Again, it is usenet. It belongs to no one. It belongs to everyone.
And, unless a newsgroup is moderated (binaries are never moderated as
faik), then any "rules" you make are simply suggestions. You can not
tell *anyone* what format they *must* post in.

If you can not download anything in yenc, then you are missing some
wonderful photos AND videos.

And a lot of crap ;-)

Same with me...

Actually it is very simple. When this NG was established one of the
"rules" was no yenc,plain and simple. Either you choose to follow the
rules or not, no skin off my nose either way. I have downloaded two free
yEnc decoders and neither have worked worth a damn but at least I tried.
As I have broadband, downloading useless posts does not create a problem;
for those for whom it does they can just block your posts and problem
solved.It is not that hard to work it out either way.
FWIW

My big gripe with Yenc is that so many of the files are corrupted in the
process.

Never a problem with Agent either, Paul. But I don't know if that
suggests a reader problem, an ISP problem, or what--wish I could be of
more help.

Really? I don't think I have ever run across a corrupted yenc file.

No, just a way to cut out the bitchin'! If you don't like yEnc posts then
just block those guys that post in that format aand your problem is solved.
It is much simpler and better that everyone taking sides and rantng the pros
and cons! Like I said the format does not bother me if it opens; great! If
not I move on to the next post.One day I will find some freeware that works
well with Outlook express then I can enjoy JPN and others postings!

there should be a "sig" here

Then you misinterpreted it! No problem. I am neither for or against and
really don't care. But on the FAQ it does plainly state "Please refrain from
posting in formats such as yEnc"There not so much rules as merely
guidelines......( obvious Pirates of the Caribbean ref.) But it is obvious
most folks here do care one way or the other with most not in favor of
yEnc.Just trying to get some of the rancor down . Remids me of the whole
VHS/Beta or BlueRay/HDDVD thing....

Then why preach about non-existant "rules"? It sure sounded like an anti-
post to me.

Clark:
What I care about is the constant bitching(yes I know we are adding to
that), it detracts from the pics and to suggest, suggest mind you that if we
all followed the guidelines there would be less bitching here(until the next
crisis arose).And it is not anti to post what is set up as guidelines for
all.Both sides can be selfish " don't you dare post in that format I can't
read it" or "I'll post in whatever I damn well please" No-one HAS to follow
the guidelines as no one can make them or do anything to them . So rather
than repeat this bitchfest every couple of months I am suggesting that for
everyone's blood pressure either get a yEnc decoder or killfile those who
post in yEnc rather than bitch about it. Either way it alleviates the
individuals problem one way or the other. I don't find yEnc better or easier
when it comes to pics but as JPN pointed out with multimedia posts it comes
in very handy. Your top posting comments were exactly in line with what I
was saying with VHS/Beta and such.
Now check out my posting on airshow shots and enjoy some nice aircraft pics.

Hmmm, it still sounds anti. Perhaps I misinterpret it, perhaps not. If you
really don't care then why post? How can the rancor possibly bother you?

Pro- and anti-yEnc arguments are just like top- and bottom-posting
arguments:
pointless because people are going to do whatever they want. If you post
about then it is obvious that you care. It's pointless to claim otherwise.

No, you just don't get it and there is no explaining it to you at least to
your ability to comprehend.There is no contradiction at all as it would be
more harmonious if all followed the guidelines but since it won't happen
just get a decoder or killfile the ones that post in formats that cause you
displeasure There it can't be any more clearer but I won't be surprised if
you still don't interpret it correctly.There is most certainly no "do as I
say not as I do". But further discussion is pointless.Good luck and good day
sir!

You are a posting contradiction. You claim to not be anti yet you
"suggest" that folks don't post in yEnc. That is anti, no if's and's or
but's. The canard about bitching is transparent since it is easier to
ignore bitching than it is to view it.

At the same time you are suggesting that people follow guidelines you are
ignoring other guidelines. Incredible. The old "do as I say and not as I
do" will get you nowhere.
