It's not about your newsserver - _any_ newsgroup without the word "binaries" in the title is for text, not binaries. News servers are usually set up with a much larger queue for the binary newsgroups, because the news spool gets _HUGE_. So, putting binaries into a text newsgroup displaces many text messages from that server. If someone wants a place to upload pictures, drop me an email and I'll set it up. Dave Hinz
