I doubt whether the OP cares a damn whether *I* can see it. The point I
was making was that several ISPs trim off binaries so that the OP was
posting in a way that made sure that a good number of those from whom he
was seeking advice were not in a position to be able to give that
advice.


But I think the point here is not so mcu what people have said as the way
they chose to say it?

And again Kay, your choice of comment here reflects the approach.

Its crass and rude and is off putting to all posters.

Although it could be a reflection of modern times.

It is not a reflection of modern times. It is a reflection of words like
'snotty' in the post I was replying to. My original response was
perfectly polite, and helpful in that I gave a good reason why it made
sense not to post binaries here. My second post was a trifle short
tempered, but was in response to one which was insulting, and to an
attitude of 'I've got a fast download and an ISP which passes on
binaries, so it doesn't matter about the conventions of usenet or the
problems of those still using slow dial up connections'.

I'm damned if I see the need to remain unfailingly polite in the face of
rudeness from others.


You have an interesting sig - pitty its not heeded by yourself here.

If you are addressing me, I think you have completely lost track of who
posted what.
