I just look at that stuff and hit the big X button, even if it was explained
to me I'd never remember it next week. Kvach

Subject: Re: I screwed up 2 intersting sites
Hello Bill, Please explain what " test do not read " means
??????
I myself, and probably quite a few others on this list, are NOT
computer
whiz kids, and a subject title such as that, along with most of this
cyberjargon of
MIMES, URLS, DEFAULTS, CHARSETS, ISOS, which are all a total puzzle to
me, is totally mystifying , and I do know many of us would appreciate
a
more basic explanation, or introduction to what you are offering us .
Obviously,the
subject matter is clearly defined in your sentence, " A lot about etc, etc.
----------- "
But to tell us that " this is a multi-part message in MIME ( ?????? )
format. "
is meaningless to some of us that are not involved daily in computerland ,as
we do
not know what " MIME " means, nor most of this other alphabet soup
terminology.
The best I can do is type in whatever follows a prefix of " www ",
or " http ",
and wait and see what comes up . I realize many of my generation are
computer illiterate, I know I am, and also know I' ve got a lot of company
. I
guess I' d better find a good book on all this Info Age terminology and
how to
utilize my home PC to best advantage . All I'm suggesting is please
don't
assume everyone sitting at a computer is totally proficient in all its'
capabilities,
and the requisite techniques to achieve these limits .
Your title ( above ) states that you " screwed up 2 intersting ( S P.
) sites "
How are we to know this ? I was completely puzzled with " test do not
read "
What would one do to TEST it ? Possibly you could explain this
seemingly
paradoxical statement ??? Thanks a lot .
