- [in response to a suggestion to put coaster pictures in
- alt.binaries.pictures.misc and to post notices here]
-
- One problem with this suggestion is that there are some sites, ours
- included, which do not get the "alt.xxx" newsgroups (except alt.sources and
- alt.sys.sun). Our computer facility administration decided that there was
- too much chaos and anarchy in the alt.xxx groups and it was not possible to
- get only those groups that people here felt were useful (I'm not sure how
- we arranged to get alt.sources, but there were a bunch of us that felt
- there was a lot of good stuff we had gotten there), so they exclude ALL the
- alt groups.
-
- If there were an alternative access method such as an FTP site and perhaps
- a mail-server for those without Internet access, that would be fine.
-
- Of course, I don't know what to do with these strange format pictures on my
- Sun anyhow, so it's only of academic interest at present.
