I'm guessing that's meant to be sarcastic at Loser Larry again showing his utter ignorance about everything since there are lots of Mac binary newsgroup applications.

Yes, that's why I put the extra ohs in 'SOOOO'. ;) -- YES WE CAN! WE JUST DID! Just say HELL NO! to the Party of HELL NO! Just say HELL NO! to HATE! <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpOUctySD68>

Yet another Dozer Fandroid who can't comply with standards. (In the spirit of free education for all, links are supposed to be enclosed in angle brackets so they don't get broken by word wrap, as yours did.) An why doesn't hacking Doze get any media attention? Oh, that's right, it's NOT NEWS. 140,000 viruses and counting, not to mention all the other exploits. -- YES WE CAN! WE JUST DID!

Unless you can point to the specification? Sorry, Ian, I don't have a reference for this, but I'm sure one of our more knowledgeable regulars can provide one. It's probably buried in an obscure RFC somewhere. Nevertheless, this point has been mentioned here numerous times by others. It's also standard behavior for Usenet reader apps to keep links intact and free of internal word-wrap returns if enclosed in angle brackets, so someone thinks it's a standard. Because Larry is so free with his know-it-all anti-Apple advice, I felt obliged to instruct him in Usenet basics. -- YES WE CAN! WE JUST DID! Just say HELL NO! to the Party of HELL NO!
