That would be the other newsgroup. Jim Moe gave a reasonable answer. The
OP probably would have gotten a few answers if s/he had posted a link to
the site instead of attaching an image of a page.
Ah. Well it was confusing to me, since nobody was naming (NG) names,
just saying, "That's wrong, boy." As I chased around trying to find
"missing" posts I felt like Cool Hand Luke digging a hole for one Boss
over here, then moving the dirt for the other Boss back into the hole, etc.
Jim Moe posted some 20 minutes before I did, and I hadn't seen his post.
Here's the timeline I see (my local newsreader-reported time, almost all
on Tue, 15 May 2007):
*??:??* OP (Man-wai Chang) posts in c.i.w.a.h with binary attachment. I,
like many others, never see his post, as my server doesn't carry it.
*07:52* Jukka posts a reply in c.i.w.a.h saying URLs, not binaries.
*08:53* OP reposts in c.i.w.a.h with URL instead of binary, following
Jukka's advice.
*08:53* OP (Man-wai Chang) multi-posts in alt.html duplicate of his post
in c.i.w.a.h.
*11:12* Jukka plonks OP in c.i.w.a.h for multiposting "_after_ he [OP]
had been informed about the issue." Here I presumed "the issue" was
binaries-rather-than-text, but now I have to guess Jukka thought OP had
been advised about multiposting some time in the past.
*11:47* OP wonders, "Someone said I should not attach images. So I
re-posted the question using a URL to the image instead. What's wrong?"
I join him in wondering (only later do I see the dup post in a.html).
*14:35* BTS posts in a.html pointing to answers in other NG [c.i.w.a.h]
*19:31* Jim Moe posts in c.i.w.a.h with the first (and only) actual answer.
*03:38* (next day, 16. May) OP thanks Jim Moe in c.i.w.a.h.
I hope the OP has learned something from this. Speaking for myself, if I
ever see Man-wai Chang multi-posting I will jump on him for all that I
am worth. ;-) In the end, I see that Jim Moe's solution won't help me
right now, so I guess I'll just go get some sleep...
