A past member of urg called in today - I think he still looks in
occasionally - and we had a bit of a chat. He remarked that one thing he
likes about the group he most frequents now is that it is permissible to
post pictures. His comment is that as most people now have broadband it
could be/should be possible to allow this group to take them, too.
I thought it would be worth canvassing opinion on this. I wonder what most
people feel about being able to post and view pics directly on the group?
Would it inconvenience many people or please and help even more?

I think you must be referring to binaries. Which are very large
picture files in text format, which require extra (free) software to
download and display. Many Newsgroups apart from the dedicated binary
groups won't accept binaries as they consume too much space in the
NewsGroup caches on the servers. Newsgroups which are carried for
free and which are stil growing in number every day. While even as
far as binary newsgroups themselves are concerned, most NewsServers,
News.Individual included, won't carry them for similar reasons but
only carry text groups. While NewsServers which carry binary groups
are usually more expensive.

In any case, pictures can be easily downloaded to sites such as

http://tinypic.com/

for free.

Don't forget that there is always alt.binaries.pictures.gardens which is
available on most binary carrying newsservers.(incl. bt)
A posting here could reference a photo there, for those who cannot cope
with posting with a url reference.

You rude bugger. The lady didnt say to change it, she just asked a simple
question.

most

If you disagree you can say so but you have no right to shout at her. You
should apologise but of course you dont have the guts to do it.

Hi Mike,

Just to save me finding the charter...is there anything in it about;

Actually reading properly the post you are replying to?

Answering in a polite, considerate manner?

SHOUTING?

Sacha made a very friendly, chatty post and asked a question in an
endearingly polite way. I think it's fair to say that most people who
replied didn't like the idea of binaries being posted here (even if it were
possible). However, most of the people who replied seemed to manage to do so
without bursting a blood vessel.

That's something you may wish to reflect on.

Regards

Martin

It should also be added that her response was considered and accepting
of those views. In any case, she was just asking for opinions and not
pressing for a change.

That's something you may wish to reflect on.

Hmmm. Somehow I very much doubt he will. Never done it before. What
was it about laughing hyenas and changing spots? Oh, no it was
leopards. Maybe in this context the former is more appropriate.

You may be sure that he will be back again in a few minutes, or hours, or
days.
He will pretend that this offensive outburst has never happened, and that
no apology is due.
When he reappears in the next topic he will once again have the only
correct answer, and anyone who dares to disagree will be contradicted with
his unique blend of abrupt rudeness and childish tantrums.

At least most of you people only have to face him on the gardening NG, and
you should be grateful for it. Those of us on the Isle of Wight not only
have to put up with him on our uk.local NG but also have to live with him
in our midst. His crackpot schemes for destroying the Island's environment
are of course laughed off, but we still have to listen to them.

You don't. It's your choice whether to open a post or not.

Feel better now that you have had another go at me and got it off your chest
Arthur?

Jolly good :-))

So pleased and delighted for you.
