I read it fine and had no problem.


I can read it fine too....
well ya know, some old coots out there....

He's really upset about the fact I have not had a mishap in a couple
of days. ;-)
Some old outdated news readers can't read HTML and some people
refuse to update them, mostly because of security issues.

Here's what it looked like to Eggs, well some of it:

Wrong again, d00d. I saw it as text/plain (text/html is also an
option, so I saw your change, which didn't require a format change).

You're totally missing the point(s). There are still many people that
pay-per-byte for their news service. HTML posts eat that up quickly,
as one can't tell the format of the message until it's already been
downloaded. HTML adds unnecessary code to the post, as was
demonstrated by your reply above (which I've snipped). It's also a
security risk from scripts.


Old dog new trick thing?


Ya. You should learn to use an app that was designed for newsgroups.
I've offered before to help you set one up, that I think you'll like.
That offer still stands.

don't matter I like him even if he smells like old Egg. lol

I kidd. Eggs I kidd.


It's all good, d00d. Just lose the HTML.


I told you I was a dumbass.....
People still pay per byte? where in Africa? Brazil? "well just insert any
third world country here"
I'm an American I don't care about anyone else (mostly true).

I'll stick to OE, 'cause I like the way it formats.
I mean jeez I'm already using post fixer, which by the way, is causing my
OE to see duplicate post, as the dates and time are identical.

maybe I should be posting from Google groups. lol
I'm gonna fire up my linux box and post HTML, joking.. well maybe.....
(I'll avoid this group and **** off some other people).

Like I said I had a brain fart.
