It is all about being considerate of others. Or as is in this case, deliberately NOT being considerate of others, despite the convention being around for quite some time. He ain't shittin' this kid. He knew about it. He's one of those 'thumbs his nose at conventions' kind of guy. Works for great progress in some instances, typically not, however as the last 5 years have succinctly proven

Yes and no. The most common way is <>. A standard is emerging in the field, as always driven by necessity. Or more to the point, annoyance with wrapped urls not working, and often being impractical to sort out. This kind of experience driven development is precisely how all the RFCs came about, and TCP/IP vanquished ISO-OSI and the seven layers.
>Brackets are a nuisance as links are just text and cut and paste (Linux double click) >then also takes the brackets that you then have to remove.
Not necessary to remove the brackets. Just click the link within, and the browser or email client or whatever should be able to figure it out, despite line breaks. I'll grant that there are older browsers and clients that don't do this, or do it correctly, but most current-update versions do.
>I usually put the links on an empty line
Which works for short links. Which links grow longer as the email trail grows with nested quoting.

Sorry, but you have /completely/ missed the point. Brackets around links are not a Usenet-specific feature. They are standard for text-based information exchange, including emails and Usenet. They were introduced long after the original Usenet RFC's. But it's your choice. You can continue to post links in a somewhat unhelpful manner - you are not alone in that. Or you can post links in a way that is more convenient for everyone else. Consider /why/ you are posting a link - is it for your own benefit, or for other people?

Usenet is specified by rfc977 and friends Point me to a text that sais '<link>' is required Maybe you noticed or maybe not, many people put links here, most do not bother with your concepts and do not use '<>'. That maybe YOUR reader only wants '<>' means you should get a real one! Bye

There /is/ a standard - you put < > brackets around the link. It has been the standard of Usenet and email for a long time (probably since email and the web left the realms of universities and technical users, and became popular with the great unwashed).

Bracketed links are single-click from any decent newsreader on Linux.

This newsgroup is a fine testament to people writing exactly what they want with a total disregard for anyone else. But if you want people to follow your links, then it is best to follow the standards.

You're an abject idiot. You come here and type in English. Is English your first language? If not, you are "conforming" to a convention. That being that since most in this group use English, you get the best results from following suit, which you do. You discounting a known convention as this(yes it is, putz), is just like a retarded Trumper discounting the efficacy of masks worn indoors to stop breath clouds from happenning. You're an idiot, but a free idiot. If it were truly a free world I could freely fuck you up for being so blatantly stupid. You should be glad that it is not really as you claim. The line is called civility. You want to claim to be civil, then act civil. You want rank individualism, then you are one rank indiviual, motherfucker. As in you stink, boy.

Well did you notice most people here put the links as text without '<>'. Not only in this newsgroup but im all groups I read, Do not force crap limitation standards on others, same as was with html. If people are too dumb to download a link no need to engage with them. Usenet is free format, go by rfc. Get a good newsreader And anybody who can read and cut and paste and use Linux can use wget to get a file: wget http://panteltje.com/pub/this_is_watching_over_me_IXIMG_0746.JPG end of discussion, that downunder insulting guy is beyond help. the other slow one too. My mistake, had the filter off.

Yeah, but if you ignore RFC2549, the receive end won't know what to do, and... then your goose is cooked, as the saying goes. In communication, it's wisest to adhere to any available convention. Even if it means greek letters like pi and omega show up... or phrases in Latin that are repeated ad nauseum.
