Post by WinstonJust because you haven't doesn't mean it can't be done or that others
won't if they can.
This is completely wrong. Frankly, some of you keep complaining about
everything but with half knowledge of everything. This is very bad
indeed. It is better to be completely stupid or completely informed by
first trying yourself to see what is possible and what is not.
You can have HTML features in a newsgroup but complete block of any
attachments. People can host their files on public portals and link
them here, assuming they have modicum of intelligence to do so.
Post by WinstonIt sounds like you do agree, though, that actually
including images in a non-binary newsgroup should not be done.
I don't agree anything from you whiners!! The reason I don't attach any
images to my posts is because I want my images to be a permanent
feature; AIOE and others have 30 days cut off date. There is no
guarantee that after 30 days you'll have any of your posts; This 30
days is not a fixed period. Some have only 15 days or even less.
Post by WinstonI was actually quite surprised when I learned that my newsreader had,
somewhere along the way, become *willing* to render HTML. Minutes
later, I tracked down how to turn that off and did so.
You should be grateful to me for educating you!!!!!!
Post by WinstonStill, how long before HTML posters adopt the email stupidity of a
text/plain section that says "to read this article in your browser,
click here" that's completely different from the text/html content?
Probably never. HTML is here and likely to remain for a very long time
as long as we have Newsgroups like this one.
Post by WinstonMaybe include several links to advertising content, too, so that every
time someone reads the article, the original poster gets paid for ad
views, but then argues that because the article contained some on-topic
content, his articles should be allowed? And on and on... No thanks.
Actually, I don't see why people like Paulo not attach Ads to all the
postings done through his servers? It is a wonderful idea. even
Microsoft is doing and even Ubuntu guys are doing. Ads are here and
they generate revenues to run these servers. Paulo, have you thought of
doing something like this? You need to have revenue coming so that you
can continue to provide this wonderful service. I am all for it!!
Post by WinstonIf a picture is needed, a plain text URL that I can follow if I
wish to is my preference.
Exactly that is what I am doing. All my images on Windows10 NGs are
links. they are not attachments. People can click on them or they can
view them in the post by turning on HTML configuration.
Hope you have learned something today.
