posts like yours are getting ridiculous. I don't understand why people in this group whine more than anyone I know. It's no big deal really. Just ignore people who post binaries and they'll go away. If they don't, then Email them with a request to stop. Don't threaten him or "spam" him , it'll just cause them to send more.

Sure, I use AOL, and we have to download binaries, so a binary post is not such a big deal here. I understand that it's different with othr ISP's. Acting like a whiney spoiled brat will do nothing to help solve the problem. After all, most of us are adults here.

I should make a text file with the explantion for this, I write it enough. Binaries in a non-binary group are a Bad Thing. If a group<non-binary> has too many binaries posted to it, news admins mark it as a 'stealh binary' group. Depending on the admin, this may mean nothing. Or it could <and likely will> mean poor propogation and ridiculously short expire times. Do you like reading all the nice, on-topic posts in this group? If people keep posting all the binaries, those posts won't be here very long.

Ah, you're from AOL. That explains so much. The weird indentation, the ignorance of how Usenet works, it all seems so clear now. I agree that whining accomplishes nothing. Try mailing [email]. Tell them of zux97's exploits and maybe they'll do something. BTW, about most of us being adults, I doubt that. If we took a poll and everyone was honest, I bet you'd be surprised at how many 10-14 year olds we have in here.

Really? The x-amind header, which I guess is the equivolent of the NNTP-posting header, said AOL. Also, the guy's adress was from AOL and he said he used AOL. While this may have been a clever attempt to try and trick me, I don't see why the ruser in question wouild use AOL.

I beg to differ, since all the message IDs ended in "worldnet.att.net" - if you're really an AOLer, you can't forge headers (I'm sure the pansy interface won't let you manipulate anything) If you're using ATT as your PPP provider, and have any decent browser, you could make
