thermos <thermosnopsamin.rr.com> pressed random keys until the following was produced: > bite me man - I don't see a gun pointed at your head. Don't look.....don't > read.......cheers right back at ya Look. He gently provided a hint to you, and you didn't get it. Allow me to be more blunt: By posting a binary to a text discussion group, your binary, being a huge file, will displace hundreds of text messages from news servers around the world. Non-binary groups (those which don't have the name 'binaries' in the names) have a small amount of space allocated by typical news servers, and your one picture will have displaced a large number of text messages. Additionally, while you're on RoadRunner, not everyone is, so that which takes 5 seconds for you to view, takes almost everyone else, who is on dialup, many minutes to download. Also, there are folks who pay for access by the byte or by time (same thing, really), and you have cost them money. Further, this usenet convention is nothing new, it was hashed out about a dozen years ago, by folks who understand a whole lot about how these things work than you do. That, and it's a rude thing to do. If you want to share a picture, post a link to some website somewhere, or post it on one of the binaries group (alt.binaries.misc I would imagine, if nothing else) and provide a pointer here. Then again, given your response to Chris, I don't expect you to agree with what I've posted; that's fine, just stop posting binaries in text groups. Dave Hinz
