....thank goodness we don't see this everyday,
most folks know better than to post HTML to
newsgroups ;- )

Doh! I must have hit the wrong button. Here is the URL:

Thanks! Your first post locked up my browser... it's kinda one way about
Usenet being a "text only" medium!

As previously stated, I apologize. I hit the wrong button.

Geez, you would think I committed a crime against humanity. If your
browser's that touchy, I would look at a new one.

-Kurt
 
True true... So did anyone actually look at the link? It was a
convertible Subaru on ebay.

-Kurt
 
It's no big deal. I just couldn't see the pics in Microsoft Outlook
Newsreader.

Anyway, that is cool. And it's in really good condition...only 50K miles.
Are you going to put in a bid?
 
I had no problem with Thunderbird either. I guess there are some
"fragile" news readers out there.

Apology accepted, but please remember, Usenet is a TEXT based medium
where one doesn't attach files or post HTML (as opposed to forums where
that's appropriate.) Pretty simple concept. It's been that way since the
get go and I doubt it'll ever change. It's not that certain
browsers/newsreaders are touchy--they work fine for what they're
supposed to do: read text! Some groups get downright grumpy if you don't
"follow the rules!", but folks here are generally fairly polite about
such missteps... at least once? ;)

Back to Subies now, ok?

Rick
 
Great, back to Subies. I understand the concepts of Usenet, I simply
hit the wrong button. Get over it. I would assume that since many
browsers will interpret the HTML and attached files, that the "standard"
has been bent before, thus necessitating the need to support such things.

As paraphrased from the IS world, the breaking of a rule today will
likely become the standard tomorrow.

-Kurt
 
Anyone using MSOutlook anything hardly has any grounds to complain
about people posting stuff that locks up their machine.
 
Curtsy Hack" must have thought someone cared when he said:

So????
