If you mean that you can't download them, then I'm sorry. Some people have the proper server/software combinations that allow them to view attachments inside a regular newsgroup, and I'm just posting some funny framegrabs to them.
I'm not sure how these are displaying on your newsreader, but if they look like multiple posts or something else that is highly annoying/acts like spam please let me know so I don't do it anymore.

No, I'm talking about the fact that you've been posting quite a few binary files in a non-binary group...personally I don't care, but this can be rather infuriating for users on dial-up and doing batch downloads of newsgroup messages.

if someone is on some crappy dialup and needs to download all the messages from a non binaries group in order to read them offline, and you post binaries, that just slows them down, and it a giant pain.
dont post binaries in a non binaries group. the best bet is to post links to the pics.
btw, i think that it was a neat game, just not the right place.

They look like binaries in a non-binary NG. Read the name of the NG. alt.tv.family-guy., not alt.binary.tv.family guy. See the difference? If you want to post binaries, past them in a binary NG and tell people where they are or link to them. That's proper NG etiquette.
I'm sorry fellas, I guess being on a cable modem for so long has gotten the best of me. I completely forgot that a 50-70k image is quite a big deal for someone on dialup ;)
I apologize for the prior posts, and thank you for setting me straight.
yeah, if wer'e on aol, we have to download what your'e saying, and I'm not going to risk that. *~Anita*~ http://vanceypants.pitas.com/ I would like to see a cartoon called "The Adventures of That Guy On the Quaker Oats Box" -someone off of the message boards on yesterdayland.com
