In a reply to an e-mail I received from a reader of this group, I wrote the following: I have been a user of newsgroups since early 1991. Most users today are not aware there was an internet then! We did not have Netscape, Internet Explorer and Mozilla then. We relied on many other means to access the internet. At that time, as is customary today, binary files continue to be posted in many usegroups. Just because I was new to this paticular group, I was hammered because I posted a genuine post asking for some help. What did I get besides flames? There are some who replied to my question without showing their bottom side and to them I give many thanks. The usegroups are free for all to use and under the control of no one individual or group of people. It was devised to operate in this manner to prevent the very thing that happened to me from happening! Those guys are just showing their true colors and I now realize they are to be ignored and placed on the refuge heap with their comments! Thanks, Trent Well, no one can force you from it, but it is against Usenet convention to post binary files to non-binary groups. There are good reasons for it. There are binary groups set up for that purpose and it is very easy to point to your binary file that is posted to a binary group, and any gentleman would be more than happy to abide by that convention. |
