Why do you persist in advertising that site?.
I asked first. You refuse to answer.
Give me a reason then to answer *your* question.
>ABCP is not a moderated group

Correct.

This is *you* putting that premise, not I.
Show me where I make any such claim.
>There is no FAQ, too.

Where you are pointing to a registered
FAQ (also known as) "page of rules"?
No.. neither do I advocate such a page.
OTOH, you are.. in advertising that site.

Thousands of posts per day throughout binary groups
tell you the answer to that question.
More than 80% are not retrievable.. posted by those who
know no better, or are deliberately farking up folks
bandwidth, or trying to win "frequent flyer points" in
a warped "club" environment.
Mass posting tools are the bane of Usenet when used by
newbies. The equivalent of handing an AK47 to a 10yr
old Somali lad who witnessed his whole family butchered
-- "have gun will shoot anything that moves".
>It is safe not like Sarkpost.

Bullshit.. both are "safe". The important attribute
is.. SP _i s_ PP.. improved !
You are another one who does not know, cannot determine
for themselves and just takes the easy path of
believing propaganda.
I have been using SP since the day it was first
released.. tell _m e_ it is not safe.
Today..
.. the file is available from a number reputable sites.
This is the _same_ file as is posted to ABCP.
Run your CRC checks on it <bg>

Sharkpost takes Usenet posting to a new level.
With tons of bug fixes and improvements over
the original Powerpost by Chris Morse.
http://www.soft-go.com/view/Sharkpost_28005.html
Sharkpost is a Freeware custom version of
Power Post 2000 with many improvements
suggested by the various members of the
Usenet comunity.
>99.9 % of uploaded files on Usenet are done with a posting tool like
>PowerPost.
Exactly.... 80% of which are C R A P.
>Yes we did use Agent to the date of 1998.
Who is "we"?
Agent didn't make it to the top of both rankings on
this page because it is Neanderthal, friend.
http://www.newsreaders.info/recommended-newsreaders.htm
Hundreds of thousands use Agent today.. a whole
business is built around the tool.
https://www.forteinc.com/apn/subscribe.php
At least three Usenet groups devoted to support
"on-line".
This is one:
<alt.usenet.offline-reader.forte-agent>
What has SP got?
No support.
A few web pages written by people who have not got a
clue on how Usenet works (binaries4all being just one)
and not a care for the groups ruined with the
introduction of all the borked versions of PP.
All that and a sprinkle of klutzes' who insist on
advertising the [H[eap[O]f[S]hit.
There is what PP has :-/
Hold up.. you are not FTD.. are you?
>Because there wasn't a good
>tool then available.
Bullshit.. Agent has had mass posting ability since
Version 1.6. The thing is though, one had to be
"computer literate" to set it up. That in itself taught
some responsibility.
The "good tool" (you point at) changed that by handing
"click n go" to morons. There is why SP was built.
IF the "morons" were going to have a "click n go" then
at least give them one that worked !
>Even Agent has sometimes a posting error.
It is more usual these days to be "operator error" as
you have recently seen, unlike Microsoft Outlook
Express, Ozum, NewsPro, UsenetGrab, NewsBin
and PP, all of which require more than an awareness of
what works.
>Use the sfv with your post and you wil see.
>
You do not understand CRC either I see.
"sfv" was developed for indolent 56kbps posters who
could not build a post without at least some of it
being shite.
PAR, likewise.. for indolent cable kids when they
swapped from 56kbps and kept making the same mistakes.
There are very few groups where sfv is not redundant,
today.
>But you don't post any requests.
>
No.. I don't need to.
If I want something today I can build my own design..
thanks.
I don't "trade" and I don't "sell".
So why would I make a request?
>Join the rest of us. It is now 2010 and not 1996 anymore.

Let us try and salvage _something_ from your post.
The comments are appreciated, believe it or not, as the
airing will help many back to the straight path..
including _you_, maybe.
I put it to you that you are the one (like many here in
ABCP) who are not "up to speed".
I make the comments I do because I am "up to speed".
So are others. I am not the only one "with it".
Now, answer the question, why do you persist in
advertising that site?
Maybe I can point you at just some of the problems
with using advice from that site?
cheers
