the background. I have attached a pdf of the error message.

*NOT* cool. This isn't a binaries group.

You should've put it on a site and posted a URL.

Ok, what's done is done, do you know anything about JavaHMO or just
bitching and wasting bandwidth like I did with the attachment?

Not a good way to ask for help.

FWIW, a 12 line text post (MZ's) takes up a lot less bandwidth than
whatever you posted.

I can't even see it, since my server filters binary posts out of
non-binary groups (along with the other spam...).

If you actually want help, try asking again (and maybe try learning some
manners too...).

I just love all the people complaining about HOW help is asked for.

If you want ot help out - do it - if you dont - then dont - why BITCH AND
MOAN?

Well:

1. I'm not going to download his damn PDF from USENet just to look at
his problem. If he throws it up at a URL I may. I don't know if I
can help or not - I know a little about JavaHMO but he hid his
issue in a binary post. It is like people who insist on emailing
sreenshots of windows error messages instead of the two lines of
text.

2. I also intended, in part, to make it clear to someone who might
stumble across the post and think that meant binary posts were cool
that it isn't the case.

When asking for help from a group of strangers it helps if you don't
make the people you'd like help from jump through hoops to do so.

I think we're a fairly helpful lot in general. There are a lot of
groups where the common response to basic questions is to blast the
poster.

I never plonked *you* - I plonked the forged posts you made in my
name. ;-)

Actually I had news dump them all to a file so I have a record of the
forgeries, then mark them as junked so I didn't bother reading them
while in news.

And you, of course, have nothing useful to add. What a surprise. You're really
a jerk.

however, when you are hooked directly to a DS3 line, you really dont have
much worry about bandwidth. No thanks to anyone in the NG, I resolved my
apache/php conflict on my own without too much lingering animosity. It's
just annoying when an immature, overgrown certhead wants to play netcop.(MZ)
And pot calling the kettle black Lenroc. Nuff said.

Well, isn't it great that _you_ have a DS3 line. I suppose you only want
help from people with similar connection speeds?

However, the end user's bandwidth isn't the only consideration. You also
have to consider retention among newsservers. Text-only groups often have
lower capacity than binary groups, and sending a binary to a text-group
can expire useful posts more quickly than they would otherwise expire.

No thanks to anyone in the NG, I resolved my apache/php conflict on my
own without too much lingering animosity.

Well, isn't that special? So you didn't even look for an answer before you
posted here...
