That's a pretty good leap, "John". I didn't see anything about binaries
being banned. There are binary newsgroups for everything.

I think you can probably come up with a lot of reasons YOU think they should be
banned--and are good enough, but, freedom of exchange over-rides anything you
can come up with! end of story...

I saw nothing advocating the banning of binaries. Your "freedom of
exchange" is intact and your "right" to post binaries in text newsgroups
overrides nothing.

But, they are not good enough reasons to block the exchange of ideas, there is
no "gentleman's agreement", there is a bunch of cheap-shot idiots like you
attempting to push your control on the mindless.

The exchange of binary "ideas" is carried out daily, in the tens of
thousands--in the *binary* newsgroups.

You think if you argue long enough and hard enough you may pull the wool over
the simple minded masses eyes.

Some of the simple-minded masses seem to have plenty of eye wool already.

This is the internet, it was founded on the idea of free, un-hindered exchange
of information and data--you are best suited for the amateur bands where the
common mode is to suppress freedoms through regulations--GO HOME, DO NOT DARKEN
OUR DOORSTEPS!!!

We'd have to know who you are and where you live before we could
approach your doorstep, "John".
