No, rude because it's a violation of Usnet etiquitte or Netiquitte.
Never post any attachment to a newsgroup that doesn't have the word
"binaries" in it's title.

Any proper server will strip attachments.

He properly pointed out the rules to you, you need to learn about
newsgroups and netiquitte.

Again nothing useful added...

I came here with a question. I found out all I needed to know.

I won't be checking back here unless I have something else I want to
find out...

I have a little concern for someone who hangs out in a cell phone
group. And who send a reply so fast, even a useless one...

There's a good chance you need to stop trying to police a cell phone
news group. Where all you get is laughed at.
And maybe get outside now and then...

Feel free to have the last word. As I said I won't be checking back...

I wouldn't call it "rude," but then, Navas is an idiot.

Bottom line: you can't post images in non-binary newsgroups.

[posted and mailed]

Good luck finding anyone else who will help you after you've acted
like a total jerk.

It was useless only to your closed mind.

Do you have any idea how ignorant you appear? People were trying to
help and you come back with your idiotic attitude and post
completely off the wall lunatic ravings.

I doubt you'll learn, though.

Ignorant is not knowing, stupid is refusing to learn and guess which
group you fall into?

If you want to police ****ing pictures, the alt.sex.* hierarchy is over
there ------>

From what I gathered of this thread the picture was of a mobile phone, no
****ing going on here. However, as my ISP operates a well-configured
server and this group doesn't fall somewhere in *.binaries.* I didn't see
it.

I just got the Razr V3m a few days ago. I checked out cellcables.com
and ended up sending them an Email regarding the compatability with
Vista. It works with Vista but it seems Verizon put some new software
on the Razr and cellcables.com doesn't have the software set up for
Verizon's new version. Customer support (which was very responsive)
said to check back in a couple of weeks and they would have the new
software listed.

I'm curious, how hard is cellcables.com's software to use. Is it like
a regular program or what? One thing their site doesn't do is show
screen shots.

I have the V3m, too, but mine is obviously older than yours. I used
cellcables.com's software and found it extremely easy to do -- no
glitches at all. There were lots of illustrations in the documentation
they sent, and I just did one step at a time until it was finished. Oh,
and they'd had me save the bits and pieces I needed to replace, so if
something had gone wrong I could have gone back to the original crippled
Razr. NAYY -- just a happy customer.

Sandy, thanks for posting back. I'm hoping cellcables.com comes
through. I'm sure they will. I just hate forking over more $$ to
Verizon. I'd change carriers but they have the best coverage of all.
Guess they know it and they figure go ahead and go some where else,
you'll be back. By the way, I checked out your Website, love the dogs!

There are a lot of bozos on the net. And many of them pretend like
they know it all. Even on the usenet & web forums.

I spent a whole night going from forum to forum and compiling
information -- much of it wrong and nonspecific -- before I was able
to get into my phone. In the end, it really is very easy, if you know
what to do. I have posted the instructions here before. If you are
willing to try, I can walk you through the steps.

You're very welcome! I hope they come through for you, too. I know just
what you mean about Verizon; I always think I'm going to change
carriers, but then I realize I'd lose coverage. :S

Maggie looks like a real sweetheart! And good for you for adopting a
rescue. That will be our next dog, when the time comes. I think our
current puppy will be our last *puppy* -- but I can't see myself without
a dog, so rescue it will be.

Don't delay too long. If that URL is like the one they gave me, it's
good for 72 hours!! Once you download it, it's a good idea to make a
copy on another disk drive and/or burn a copy to CD/DVD.
