I would never insist such a thing...

That's "Mark Wagner", and it doesn't really matter to me how many people
view it, since I posted a very similar version a year ago.  This was mostly
a commentary on the "Guidelines" thread in povray.binaries.images, and on
Warp's decision to bzip2 the image he posted here.

  Completely honest answer:

  I had a little fight with Ken about whether posting in a format not supported
by every platform is OK or not. My opinion was that it would be polite to
post your files in a format supported by most platforms.
  I packed the image with bzip2 (which doesn't seem to be very popular in
the Windows platform since it seems that WinZip nor other popular packer
programs support it, although bzip2 is quite popular in Unix systems) to
make it harder for Windows-users to open it. My intention was to show that
using a format not directly supported by most platforms only causes trouble
to people.

  I agree that it may have been a bit childish "attack". I'm sorry.

You completely failed to make your point or to understand mine. You
posted in a format that is only used by 3-5% of the worlds computer
users. My point was that you cater to the greatest common denominator
and you have clearly not demonstrated this by your actions.

The question is: Did you feel you missed much?

  An you failed to understand that I'm talking about politeness.

  I'm not saying which is the most practical way of doing it, or which is
the best way of giving your work to most people.
  What I'm saying is that in my opinion it's *POLITE* to post in a format
which everyone can read.
  You might have to make some compromises if you want to be polite in this
way, but I haven't questioned that. I only said my opinion about politeness.

  Think it in this way:
  Only a small % of people is vegetarian. However, if you are inviting people
to your house and making food for them, it's polite to have a vegetarian
meal as an option.
  It's very impolite to say "since you are only a minority I don't have
to consider you at all; eat this or don't eat anything. The door is that
way, by the way". That's extremely rude.

  Do you understand now?
