- While wandering through my news system trying to find where all my spool
- space had disappeared to, I discovered a megabyte of GIF pictures posted to
- alt.fan.maddona.
-
- alt.fan.maddona readers take note: if you want to post binaries, post them
- to alt.binaries.pictures.<something>. Those sites like mine that don't
- receive the binaries groups do so for a reason: I have very little hard
- drive space available for news and don't intend to waste it on uuencoded
- binaries. If you continue to post binaries to the newsgroup I will remove it
- from my feed, and while the actions of this one site will have little effect
- on the net as a whole you should be aware that other administrators are
- likely to do the same, significantly affecting the distribution of your
- newsgroup to people who might want to read it.
-
- News is largely a cooperative effort, please treat it as such.
