HTML Plain Text or Binaries
Judith M Smith
I have never see so much crap in all my life as has been generated in
another thread, as to what posts should or should not be allowed.
ffs - if this really is such a problem - why cannot the committee
between them decide some suitable wording and then say that that is
the default rule.
Here's a start: for you to think about - no need to discuss it in
public - I am sure that you have read the views of many others.
I do not know the procedure - I suspect RFD and then fast track -
committee take on any significant commonly held views - whilst keeping
it simple - job done.
Unless you all like navel gazing and pontificating (or even pointing
out grammatical slips if you are ?
Now sits back for - it's not our job
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Only plain text postings are allowed.
Binaries are not allowed.
For the avoidance of doubt, in this context, HTML is not considered to
be plain text - therefore such messages are not allowed.

It isn't such a problem. That's the point.

Is it a problem?
If it is a problem, those who think it is, can ( try to ) do something
about it. The committee doesn't do it because this isn't a dictatorship.
Any member of the committee who wishes to do something does so in the same
way as anyone else - by raising an RFD.

Raise the RFD - get the navel gazing. It's a request for discussion. :-)

You can't have been reading newsgroups for very long.

All you need for that final sentence is: "HTML is not considered to be
plain text."

Now I wonder why I actually said "avoidance of doubt, in this context"
- I assume you've not been reading the other thread.

I'm not sure it's *ever* *read* a newsgroup.

Actually I'm not sure it is an "it". In a thread in uk.rec.cycling
there is enough information (assuming it is true, and it has never
been denied) which enables a quick Google search to find a particular
Judith Smith. So, assuming she has been using her real name (which is
possible I suppose), and that the other information is true, she
probably is a she. Previously I thought of her as a man, as like many
others, I found her bitter obsessiveness quite unlike any other woman
I have ever met (not that that made it impossible for her to be a
woman of course).

The words 'a newsgroup' in the above sentence are redundant. Usenet's
definitely a write-only medium for the jms entity.
Thank god for killfiles. Lossless compression.

The word 'has' (not 'is') perhaps?
It's been fairly interesting reading some of the threads recently.

Who mentioned gender? I'm just desperately trying to cease habitual
anthropomorphism of every mammal I pause to study..
Potential lactation warm blood and live young do not a human make.
