NO PHOTOS!! Yes, I'm shouting because you don't seem to "get it." ...
DON'T POST BINARIES (aka pictures, photos) ON TEXT-ONLY NEWSGROUPS --
compressed or not, they're not appropriate here. Thank you.

Thanks for that. It seems that us in the UK are 'spoilt' with broadband.
It seems that you guys in USA don't have it. But at 56K that I used for
the
last 5 years a few 10's of K didn't take an hour to download. What
connection speed do you have?

My connection speed is not the problem ... the issue is that binaries do not
belong in text-based newsgroups. That's all. Simple message. Don't post
photos or pictures here. Set up a web page, post on any number of available
web sites that offer picture hosting, or use the alt.binary newsgroups. Then
the reader can decide when they want to download pictures, photos, web
pages, etc.

You can choose between Gold (1M), Silver (500k) and Bronze (150k)
service options, whatever suits your needs and your budget.

dialup readers. :-)

Well, actually the trace of the post is completely lost, so I'll just
say that massive amounts of experience with BPL will not overcome
power company greed. The radio spectrum is quit full enough without
the massive amount of noice generated by BPL, or so the radio people
say.
What will be fun to watch is when some one realises that VoIP can be
based on BPL, and "wallah" no more phone companies. Who's going to
switch for you now?
Ten years from now all we will have will be the fourth generation of
cell phones with voice recognition switching. The phone will probably
be build into a nice lapel pin, shaped sort of like the Nike swoop, or
whatever.
Or something.

The importance of snippage is saving the space. This is especially true of
long threads. If no one snips, the size of the posts will grow
expologasuperduper hugely and quickly. Especially when you get a lot of "me

Well, then, it seems to me that this should have been the topic of the
whole
thread. We should push for snipping, rather than for where people put
their
message.

I concur in full. I am a bottom poster, although I do from time to time
place a quick top posted response. However, I ALWAYS do my best to snip out
irrelevant portions of the message. That is the most important thing, if you
ask me.
