Frankly, I wonder how anyone can get by without proper tools to display
equations properly--it has hampered me greatly! However, if you are of
that mind, DON'T bother getting a proper newsreader and remain back in
the 1980's ...

Frankly, I wonder about the arrogance of someone who decides: "MY
posts are REALLY IMPORTANT and I want to post equations, photos, or
whatever and YOU should equip yourself with whatever tools are
necessary to read MY IMPORTANT POSTS!

Yanno, I should have asked, everyone here DOES own a scientific
programmable calculator, don't they? :-)

I happen to have several, but if someone else does not, why does it
matter?

News(group) flash. A lot of folks read groups via slow-speed
connections, cell phones, etc. They want only plain TEXT because it
sometimes costs them money or more important, time, to download all of
the bloat that seems to pollutes the Internet these days.

If you have some REALLY REALLY IMPORTANT html to post I suggest you
put it on a web page and provide a plain-text link to it.

I'm off to 20-meter CW now to do some communicating.

Well, it appears you didn't bother to read the portion on HTML
postings or would understand the reasoning behind that rule.

At this juncture, you have some choices: you could abide by the rules,
start a rec.binaries.radio.amateur.antenna group or continue to make
an ass of yourself by posting HTML text.

It has been arranged here.

I don't believe you bothered to read it ...

It cites not making "attachments" (paraphrased here) unless absolutely
necessary. Demonstrate a method to sub/super script in plain text and I
will concede that anything other than plain text is un-necessary.

Html files ARE VERY SMALL!

.... get real ...

And you chose to tell us that in plain text.

There's reality for you Brett (irony³ intended).

Friends call me "Plan John" too ... grin

But, as usual, you are correct ... HTML was unnecessary in the preceding
message--as well as this one. ;-)
