Or (in my case) you pay a flat rate of 19 cents/megabyte received, plus the
cost of the phone call. As you say, gets expensive quick ... (thanks, Tel$tra).

So you're connected through Telstra.net? Eventually I'll save enough for
the setup fee :)

That was not nice. Insulting people by their nationality is very
discorteous and rude.

I don't think that "please stop sending html" is flaming.

And what about insulting people on account of their OS?

I wasn't insulting people who use windows. I use windows too.
I was just insulting those ignorant windows users who think they know
everything but they know nothing.
I'm sorry if I offended someone personally.

I decided to post my thoughts here as well, hopefully my HTML is turned
off;-) (It's should be 36th in this thread, good estimation, Lue!)
Some thoughts:
Perhaps there should be the readme.txt (or good_manners_to_follow, or
something like that) for first time visitors in this news server, which
explains, what should be done and what should not be done here:
don't use HTML, it pisses people off
don't post binaries to other than binaries group
etc.
There is something written about newsgroups and their use in the povray
homepage, but maybe it should be stated more specifically? E.g. there is
written:"You are welcome to post binaries in the povray.binaries.*
newsgroups. ", but maybe it should be written: "Thou shall not post
binaries to other than povray.binaries.* newsgroups", maybe then users
get the idea better? I understand, that many peoples are new to
computers and usenet, they get their Wintel box, discover PovRay and
it's newsgroups. Now, due to ignorance they do something wrong (post
HTML messages) and get flamed, which is not pleasant experience for
novices (after some time one will have thicker skin and just ignore
flames).
Other thing, which annoys me, is quite large number of unrelated to
PovRay posts. I'm not pissed, because it will cost me money (I can use
my employer's computer and network connection after work time), but
because it will waste my time. Please be more constructive, don't get
involved into waffle or flaming, keep Your discussions related to the
PovRay.
On a positive note I have to admit, that this server's NGs are more
decent than other usenet NGs.
Now I had long talk: long talk-bad talk.
