mshear@idirect.com (Michael Shear) summoned a news daemon to say:

>I don't know why people keep compaining in this group about binary postings.

    The thing is, each newsgroup is allotted a certain amount of space
on the newsserver.  Old news gets deleted to make space for new news
automatically.  This means that when a binary comes in to a discussion
group, newsservers wind up killing a lot of older articles to make
space for the binary, which is usually huge.

    That Tenchi post was 8 parts, each of which was about 900 lines if
I recall right.  If you figure that the average post (condensed to the
amount of space it actually takes) is about 15 lines, you are looking
at 60 x 8 = ~480 messages that got tossed early from the newsserver to
make space for the new binary.

    There are 34 binaries groups associated with RAA.

alt.binaries.pictures.anime
alt.binaries.pictures.erotic.anime
alt.binaries.pictures.erotica.anime

    These can be used for binaries without problems.
