Why the yEnc?
I won't see his pictures. All yenc posters go directly to the kill file....

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. -- Jim in NC |

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. 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." -- Jim in NC |

: "Clem" wrote in message . 97.136... Gene Park wrote in : The only ones who like yEnc are the ones who insist on posting that scheisse. Aggressive ignorance. Who needs to clutter up their computer with crappy programmes just to view that crap? If I understand you, a program that does less for a user is a good program and a program that provides more alternatives is a bad program. Why didn't I think of that? So easy a caveman can do it! What are the percentages on how many people use OE as their newsreader, versus all the rest combined? OE 80% vs. the rest? Probably close to that. People insisting on using yEnc is about like the gas stations stocking only diesel fuel, when only a small percentage of cars on the road can use it. After all, diesel is better; far better fuel economy, right? So everyone out there, get a different vehicle, or carry your own refinery around behind your car, so you can make something out of the diesel that your car can burn. That makes as much sense as insisting on posting using something that only some people can look at, without going to extra effort to do so. That is the same argument you are making. yEnc may be much, much better, but it can not be used (or burned) in most people's computers (cars) unless they get a new newsreader (car) or some add on program (refinery) so they can read it. I'm not going to change newsreaders, or add a program, just because you want to carry only diesel. I have never found an add on for OE that does not make it buggy as heck. If anyone can suggest an add on that does not cause problems for them, I might consider trying it. Otherwise, I'll do without those pictures, thank you. Jim, I don't quite understand your analogy because the newsreaders that decode yEnc also decode the other formats as well such as Xnews, so in the true sense a gas station IS serving more than diesel. The only things about yEnc that makes it a good program are what I pointed out earlier, The file size is reduced thereby reducing the download/upload times. Not all people use highspeed Internet and that makes using yEnc a wise choice for them. I'm not telling anyone what to use to decode a file. I do believe that any program that makes life easier is worth looking into. As far as OE having problems with add on programs, the problem most of the time is with OE itself. As a stand alone product it's great, but add 3rd party programs to it and it can develope problems. What get's me fired up are those people with a holy attitude that condem people for using the program of their choice. I have noticed an increase in the use of RAR files lately in other groups. Just because I don't have an application to decode them doesn't mean I should demand only those programs be posted which I can decode or for whatever reason are easier for me to use. It's a free world and your entitled to decode what you please, but I have to say there have been some excellent shots in yEnc you are missing. |

Sometimes, it does not manage to decode all yEnc posts (maybe 10% of the yEnc posters -not posts, seems to be connected to the person- in here), but I have yet to experience any negative side-effects. OE continues to work just as before, only that you can see yEnc pictures. Regards, Martin |

May I rephrase that a bit: Photographers, shame about the excellent shots you appear to be posting but which 98% of your intended viewers will not ever see. Plonk. |

I have been using this decoder for a couple years without ANY problems.
Easy to install, easy to use, and its FREEWARE!! What more could you want except maybe some Pierre Robert and Muscat...cheese and wine for the uninitiated. "Morgans" wrote in message ... "Eric" wrote Oh no, here goes another 3 months of whiny narrow minded **** ants...bemoaning the evils of yenc. Come up with a solution that does not involve switching newsreaders, or screwing up the one I use. Until you can do that, I'll take a little cheese and crackers with my wine, please! g -- Jim in NC |
