"Robert Moore" wrote in message .15.205... "Morgans" wrote What are the percentages on how many people use OE as their newsreader, versus all the rest combined? OE 80% vs. the rest? Jim, why would ANY computer savy person even think about using OE as a news reader? Give Xnews a try...you'll never go back to OE. Why not? I LIKE it. It does EVERYTHING I want done, and easily. I've been using it for more than ten years. Well then, stop bitching about the things that it doesn't do! 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. |

I won't see his pictures. All yenc posters go directly to the kill file.... I am sure they will all be devastated to know that. "Oh my, Woody will not see my pictures. World will end tomorrow" |

Ron, why all of the yEnc? Have you not noticed that nobody ever uses that format, in this group? It sure would be more to polite of you, to use what is considered standard in a group. Plus, most will not take the time to pull up your pictures. Posters choice. Always. If you don't/can't/won't decode it, don't download it. Simple as that. Cheers, jc |

Your way of thinking reminds me of a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle. Based on the replies I have read here, let me leave you with this bit of advise . . .

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. |

I guess I should have kept my mouth shut. I will do so in the future. Honestly, I really don't know what participate such a strong response. Do you write yEnc software or something? If so, no offense was intended. I fly old gliders, run old tube based ham radio equipment, still use use an old Compaq Aero 1500 PDA and use a first generation digital camera. I am getting the place in my life-cycle where many classify me as old. So no one should be surprised that my PC software isn't new. Wayne http://www.soaridaho.com/ |
