If someone feels like apologizing, they should apologize and you should have the good manners to keep your mouth shut.

-- Unbelievably, you either missed the point again or you\'re trying to get some mileage out of this thread at the expense of making it look like you have very close to _no_ reading comprehension. The point was, and is, that the attachment intended for a single person, if attached to a plaintext post in a text-only newsgroup, most likely won\'t be posted to that newsgroup, so the intended recipient won\'t get the attachnment. That will result in additional dialogue having to be exchanged and time wasted, all of which could have been avoided by posting properly in the first place.
-- Manners? I neither have, nor need manners when dealing with the likes of you. If you want me to stop telling you what not to do, then _you_ need to stop telling other folks what _to_ do. Them\'s the rules. If you like \'em, fine. If you don\'t, you can kiss my ass.

There aren't many ISPs that block attachments. This has been experimented in a text chat group.
Statistics show otherwise. Go back through this thread and count the number of insults you have made.
This does not tie in with your rule-based life.
Explain.
I don't hate authority, I hate silly rules.

It may come as a surprise to you that an awful lot of Brits (and other countries) feel the same way. America like to think they rule the world, and constantly try to remind everyone of this.
"Hey, asshole, I'm not the one with a crippled newsreader and a penchant for slovenly thought and communications."
You did not. I am imprecise, I keep telling you this. So what exactly have I done wrong above? (When I say above, you've snipped it....)
Red means illegal does it?
I hadn't thought of it that way until you said so. Looks like you're the disgusting one.

That's a very silly expression, and implies something about your sexual preference.

if you don't want other people to read what your write keep using the reader you have.

Someone asked if they could post a binary in a text chat group. Noone knew if it would work, so they tried it. Several of use saw it, one didn't.

You are the one that can't even remember what you posted.

I don't have rules. That's what you don't like about me, remember?
There is no connection.
Silly people in authority. Not all authority is silly. Sillyness is a subset of authority.

Where did I say it was in this thread?
Finding it offensive proves my point.

And above you asked me to prove you were the one with the insults? Now you don't even have to look outside this post.

What did I write? (it's been snippled)
You assumed it did. Why?

There are not many things scatological can refer to.
It's negligible.
Then stop moaning about 5kB attachments which take you 0.0039 precious seconds of your life to download.

I moved sci.electronics.basics to a "text only server" just yesterday, because on this server the response time is about 10-15 times faster. (news.planet.nl contra nova.planet.nl). Nova.planet.nl seemes to be using half the night to update all those gigabytes of attatchments,and only starts working properly in the early morning. News.planet.nl seems to respond immmediatly al all times. Bugger the attatchments.

Both my newsservers are instantaneous, carry all posts, and have a decent retention. Vote with your feet.

-- Hmmm... Quite precise. That didn\'t hurt much did it? In any case, if the one who didn\'t get the binary attachment needed it, they\'d have been sol, no?
--- Sure you do, liar. You've been whining from the very beginning that you want it to be OK to post binaries to text-only newsgroups. It isn't. Get used to it.

I've said before, it's only the English language I'm not precise in.
When a question is posed in a group with many people, if the odd one misses out, does it really matter?
number of insults you have made.
Your messages contain insults, mine do not, simple as that.
Is this a Monty Python sketch?
Welcome to the world outside the US.
I have not been hypocritical anywhere in this group.
The connection is in your mind, you'll have to explain it.
You definitely watch too much Monty Python.

Overlapping set then.

Precisely vague. Er.....
You assigned a value to the sign before I even told you what it looked like.
No, I'm just not analy retentive (seen as you love those phrases) enough to bother being precise all the time.
Just because I am vague does not mean I will therefore like everything that is vague.
Well you're descended from us.
Look up scatological.
As a percentage of data on the internet or even data in newsgroups, it is very low indeed.
