THE WONDERS OF USENET
Lesson 1
by parkrrrr
Usenet is wonderful because it isn't the World Wide Web and doesn't want to
be. This means that, if everyone is doing his or her job, you will never
find a Usenet post that doesn't work with your newsreader, as opposed to the
World Wide Web, where every other site has Java or Javascript or some stupid
plugin that only works with one or two browsers.
Unfortunately, some Web browser manufacturers seem to think that news:// is
just another way of saying http://, and they give their technically
unsophisticated users access to HTML editing tools that allow them to post
the resulting HTML gibberish to the plain-text-only Usenet.
So help keep Usenet wonderful, and don't post HTML. Better yet, avoid any
"newsreader" that allows you to post HTML, since doing so, along with
threading by subject line, is one of the signs of a newsreader author who
doesn't understand Usenet.
While you're at it, shun any editor that creates superfluous non-breaking
spaces, as those are a sign of an editor author who doesn't understand HTML,
either.
