Andrew has not yet replied to my request for the URL references to the anti-GOG Russian user-comments on the Eador Steam pages, but there is always hope. And if the reply got lost, maybe he might consider posting it again? As far as decoding anything other than plain-text on these newsgroups I have no interest. There was a time long since past ( thank goodness) that some posters used to gobble many pages of posting by binary-to-text encoding (of game patches, or whatever) on these newsgroups instead of posting to the appropriate binary newsgroup.... and quite a few of these posters continued to gobble bandwidth (precious at that time) on text-only newsgroups regardless of repeated requests to refrain. These newsgroups are still intended for text-only communication, so I have zero interest on upgrading (or adjusting) my usenet newsreader to read anything other than plain-text on these groups. My antique usenet newsreader has served me with impeccable reliability over the years. Many apologies for involuntarily stimulating a long off-topic under-thread here. John Lewis
