So crap it didn't turn up AT ALL on at least one server I looked at.
Totally rejected by the server at all levels. All I saw was Nieve's
thank you for it.
Another server baulked at it, but chugged it down eventually.
And yes... I was going to step in... but was away all weekend and the
shit had hit the fan by the time I got back ... :-<
Surprise, if you are reading this and haven't figured out from the
continuous pointing to the Readme in the T00ls what you are doing
wrong... then read on...
I'm not going to do the "why"... I'm told that is not what the Ladies
want to hear...
DON'T EVER post more than one rar or zip attachment with a post.
One at a time. One post with ONE attached rar.
DON'T EVER post a rar AND a zip together in the same post. This was
the post that was totally rejected by my server. Zips and rars
together are like putting Catholics and Protestants in a cupboard and
expecting them to play nice... /grin
Does that help your confusion?? Just don't do those two things and see
how your posting progresses.
When you get better with that, mebbe you would like to learn to split
rars with Winrar?? (And post those parts separately).
Otherwise you end up with those ridiculous posts with hundreds of
parts. Not many people get those either.
If you looked at the post/s before you joined them, assuming you can
see enough to have any to join. you would notice a yellow icon
representing each attachment (rar) you attached.
There should only be ONE yellow icon at the beginning, followed by a
bunch of white ones underneath for Uuencode posting. As you did.
yEnc posting results in all yellow icons.
Erma, if you can see enough parts of a Uuencoded post, and there is
more than one yellow icon in the range, then you can tell it's going
to be a crap posting.
Don't confuse it with yEnc posting, which are ALL yellow.
Yeeeeeeeeeesss... some did get it. Some servers managed to sticky tape
it back up for the customers. Servers are having to do this because
people REFUSE to learn to post. Years ago, nothing posted to ABCP
would have turned up. We haven't got better at posting, we have got
way worse.
Simply because of people like GB, who are determined to kill off
groups. It's his hobby. It's what he does.
Only people like Kit know how to rebuild the totally crap posts that
completely fall over.
He's starting to feel a little like a Unicorn... the last of His kind.
There are very few left, certainly very few that have the patience to
hang around a bunch of Ladies who post like they drive.... /giggle.

Don't encourage Himself!!
He knows how good He is... /grin
/watches tickets blowing off with the wind... mehehehe
And the reason why GB is doing his level best to destroy this group
with lies.
Kit will not "infest" any files in this group.
If Ladies can't tell He is trying to help them... then they are beyond
help.
Usenet is a bit brutal like that. The weak fall off the wagon.

This was a little more a posting/server problem. If you only had one
server available, I don't think there was much in Agent you could do
if it didn't arrive at all (as in my case).
One server I compared, I got it and someone else using the same server
didn't. Different parts of the world received it differently.
Many will be looking at this text blankly, thinking we are idiots for
not getting it. That's not how it works at all.
The facts are obvious in the posting. The multiple yellow icons reveal
the bum posting immediately. It's a fact that can't be blown away with
telling group that any posting is good posting.
While it's not getting retrieved, it's not.

Best to concentrate on better posting practises than teaching them
that anything goes if you know how to get it?
This "email thinking" with posting is driving me nuts...
THIS IS NOT EMAIL AND IT'S NOT YAHOO GROUPS, Ladies...
When you accept that, we can move on.
Until then, we are stuck with crappy, irretrievable posts.
No Erma, I don't include you in this statement.

Yeah... I like how you chopped off half the top of the heading on each

Ladies, you be tested more on what you don't complain about than what
you do.
"I got it" is often more a statement of your ignorance than anything
else.
Bigger servers chug down rubbish posts because people are treating
Usenet like email, with multiple attachments and crap posts.
Usenet is NOT email. It can't handle attachments like email. It won't.
And you can't make it.
Surprise, you are using a good newsreader and a decent server.
If you just stop attaching everything like email, then you are halfway
there.
One post --> one attachment.
More than one attachment to post?? Make a new post each time.
Just yesterday, I saw someone post an attachment to a NON BINARY
group. Our resident troll had something to say about the blatant
disregard for a text only group. Yeah, he's over there annoying them
too.
And yet he blathers non stop in here about posting however way you
want to.
Total idiot.
/morning tea time
Pixie :-))
