It is against Usenet convention to post binary files to non-binary
groups. That is why binary groups were invented. Binary files are
usually very large should not be posted to regular news groups as these
groups are archived forever. The binary groups are purged ever so often,
so it isn't prudent to archive large binary files in regular newsgroups.
