I seem to recall other suggestions that the thing do now is "Get
another newsreader". Having to find one and learn how to use it
could be a problem
If that is a problem for you, how could you learn to understand the
difference between a variable and a constant?
The short answer is about 30 years experience in the IT profession.
A longer answer would be that it is a hassle I don't need or want
To expand on why it is a hassle -
[...]
You indeed are very picky, and further more you are posting binaary
in a non-binary group, being a sin in itself, but probably done
outside your expertise by Outlook.
I wouldn't know about that.
What constitutes "posting binary" ?
What makes this a "non-binary group" ?
And what diffference does it make ?
I don't use Outlook, I use Outlook Express 6. Anyway it is just a tool. I don't need to know how it works.
On the other hand, 30 years of IT professionalism, you should know
how to work with, and behave on usenet.
No, I didn't use any newgroups or converse on the internet in any way (email apart) until my retirement a few years ago.
I thought that this is just a newsgroup that anyone can use and that the user doesn't have to know anything about Usenet.
Why would the general user know about Usenet, even as to what it is ?
Where would the user be directed to any reference to it ?
Where are users made to read the guidelines or sign a declaration that they will abide by them ?
.. and you were told that not finding comp.lang.javascript on your
microsoft server has nothing to do with the newsreader you use, just
by the news server, so use another news server.
So I can use OE6 to read another news server ?
But then, how do I do it ?
If the answers are all in the help in OE6, then this is a rhetorical question.
Otherwise, this is part of the hassle I referred to before.
With 30 years of IT professionalism, well ... I wonder.
Then again 30 years isn't that much of exterience.
Many of us go back far longer,
when gates were called nand and nor, not bill.
I first learnt some progamming in 1962, including some machine language, moved to a computing area in 1975, became an IT professional in the 80s (I forget when) and retired in 2003. But my career didn't include much micro programming, just "ancient" mainframes and more lately Unix. We had micros on our desks but didn't have to program them. After all, being able to drive a car doesn't make one a mechanic.
BTW,
Surely the purpose of newgroups is to help others to reduce their ignorance in particular areas or of specific problems.
For example, I am not ignorant of the difference between a constant and a variable, and I know this why? Because I worked in IT. Statement of fact, not a boast. But of course, I am ignorant of other things. As is everyone.
