Well idiot, I could just start subscripting stuff and if it works here,
it works ...

Further idiot, html is NOT binary is ONLY TEXT ...

With that interpretation, you probably take the view that a UUENCODED file
is ONLY TEXT.

Most of us respect the convention of plain text only in newsgroups other
than declared binary groups.

No doubt there is some reader that interprets your HTML tagged text, but
many if not most readers do not. There is a simple solution to seeing this
stuff...

If you have no interest in discussing sub/super scripted math equations

using them, or participating in the future high math discussions I see
coming on the horizon, you may wish to avoid my future posts.

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 ...

Mainly, I am just preparing for Cecil, when he gets back from where ever
he has gone ... his embarking down paths most avoid causes me to "step
up to the plate" and get prepared! I imagine most here are either
unwilling or unable, for them I suggest just downloading EZNEC (or
another appliance application) and letting it do it for you ...

And, you are correct, uuencoding results in all text printable ascii
characters. Worse yet, you are correct again, html uses all printable
ascii characters! Now, how your newsreader is set to interpret them (if
it can) is up to you! If you came to play with the big boys, I hope you
brought the right tools.

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

That can be arranged.

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!

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.

Only posts which are NOT important and those from the stone age, those
which are obscene/perverted ...

Of course, I don't know which "post rating system" you run by ...

It has been arranged here.
