Yeah, usenet predates the internet! Because we invented its' predecessors too, and were forced to use telnet to SMTP and NNTP until we developed decent newsreaders. And, all your bellyaching can end when you adopt and begin using one of those decent newsreaders!

If you are still having problems, have you considered having your mother assist you?

How in the world can some twit that claims to have been here for so
long be so retarded as to not know about line length limiting?

Exactly. D'oh!

Remember, I am one that against top posting. Sheesh!

YAWN! Another 12 year old who thinks he pioneered the universe.


You act as if you haven't been in Usenet more than two months, and
then act as if you are a twelve year old adolescent twit when you
decide that long accepted standards no longer apply, or do not apply
to you. Get a clue, dumbass.
So you don't dispute my estimate of your age; did I over-estimate?

You're an idiot, and a troll at this point.

Not a damned thing, when it comes to Usenet.

Yes, but do you read the last chapter of the book first? :-)

Dear Cec, a long time ago I found a copy of "The Hunchback of Notre
Dame" in my hands. Translated from the French.

I think I had to catch a train. At any rate I didn't have a lot of
time to spare.

So I read the last few sentences in the book. I was immediately
fascinated.

I then speed-read the last chapter which was all I had time for.

I made a mental note to read the rest of it should the occasion arise.

Some years later, by chance, in a strange town, with nothing better to
do, I called in a cinema. The film was Charles Laughton as the
Hunchback on the pillory pleading to the crowd for water. The gipsy
girl gave him a flask

I then obtained the book via my local Carneague public library and
read the whole thing at a single sitting.

They don't write beautiful books like that anymore. Books which read
just as well either forwards of backwards.

The Carneague library, a present to my home town from the generous USA
before I was born, still stands and still much used, amidst the old
Victorian, soot-darkened houses in the Black Country where it all
began.

By the way, I'm on "Vin de Table de France" this evening.

Ohh, I know how IT USED TO BE...

I know that you're an idiot.

Some just don't realize HOW IT IS NOW.

That'd be you as well. Nothing has changed.

It is a text based forum. Get used to it.

Look up the word chronology.

Shame on you, Reg, after what Jacques Chirac said about
English food.

Well, ya, if attachments are NOT allowed, you have to use uuencode and uudecode to send binary data!!! (and include it IN the message text)

Well duh!

If you need a tutorial on how to use uuencode, I can furnish you with one--the only reason you do NOT see it here is that, I suspect, most are ignorant to how it is used.


You're an idiot.

Somehow, I don't think the authors of the usenet guidelines
had a uuencoded file in mind when they said "text only". :-)
