And a sincere Thank You to Mike and Scott.

However, I reiterate a concern for cba2 posting.  Please do not use yenc
encoding if you want a post preserved on the ground.ecn.uiowa.edu apple2
archives.

Ground receives its Usenet newsfeed through a server with a 7 bit
connection.  (Actually, 2 servers: primary -7bit, secondary 8bit.)  Rarely
does a yenc post make it uncorrupted, and a multi-part post almost never.
So all yenc encoded posts are automatically junk.

Lucky are those for whom yenc works, but there are still 7bit feeds out
there and yenc is unaccepatable.

So post in yenc if you want, but realize you are restricting your
audience, and also leaving the ground archive out of the loop.  It is not
ground's fault.  There is nothing here we can do.  Our news feed is 7bit
and we can do nothing about it.  It is a blessing in disguise. ;-)

Thanks,
