What are you claiming as evidence for this claim, in your own words,
"you are not supposed to be posting binary files in regular news
groups..." ????

Similar to informal band plans, by gentlemen's agreements
no binary file posting on non binary file newsgroups.
"Binary" newsgroups are usually marked "alt.binaries.whatever"

There is the problem, "gentlemen's agreement", but John is no gentleman,
kinda like on the Childrens Band where he fits in real well.
