Yes, I object to compressing & uuencoding!  It doesn't save any space
where it counts: it takes *more* space.  News transfer between
machines is almost universally compressed (big exception is nntp).  If
you compress & uuencode something you post, particularly if it is
text, you'll take up about 25% or more space (try it out - compress
is better than compress|uuencode|compress).
