Yep, on an attitude level, we're both on the same page...it's just not
coming out that way.
But you haven't been reading the posts 'real' carefully.
Easynews allows binaries. That's why I'm in here.
Giganews does not. Some earlier posters were asking why? I explained.
I have both services. My main focus is dvd's. I enjoy the ONE YEAR
retention on Giganews, that's why I have them. I've been with them for
3 years.
I've been with Easynews for 9. Supernews before that...in fact, I've
been in Usenet since 1995 when we had to use a small prog to DECODE
all the pictures in these groups to see them.
I like Easynews because they have a web interface. It makes
downloading 4.7 gig movies with one click a complete breeze and much
faster than NNTP. That's why I'm weathering the storm with their
current abominable service...hoping it will soon fix itself.
I really don't want to subscribe to Astranews too...just so I can get
this one group. Doesn't make sense. I'll stay with Easynews as long as
I can.
My only concern, is that with Easynews losing money daily, and the
incredible growth of Usenet each day....is that the non-binary groups
with binaries...are going to go away.
I don't care one way or another WHAT group we all migrate to. Since
I'm such a loser, and sit at this machine most of the day, I thought I
would just look for a new one that was empty. Found one right away.
It was merely a suggestion. I don't care....PICK one.
I was trying to help 'everyone'. The people using Giganews can't enjoy
any of the pics in here, so I told them why.
(and just for the record, I thanked Avoice profusely back in .bos)
I'm not an asshole folks. I'm a vet. With a lot of time on his hands.
