Binary posts do not belong in unmoderated discussion groups.

I run a program that searchs for, and issues advisory cancels for,
large binaries in the akr, biz, comp, misc, news, rec, and sci
hierarchies.

I have issued 43 advisory cancels for large binary files or parts
thereof (total size 2,999,439 characters) posted to 7 different
unmoderated discussion groups in the comp and rec hierarchies as
follows:
  34 rec.music.industrial
   3 rec.motorcycles.harley
   2 rec.music.marketplace.cd
   1 rec.radio.shortwave
   1 comp.os.os2.mail-news
   1 comp.dcom.modems
   1 comp.ai.neural-nets

This pointer is being posted to each affected group listed above.
Follow-ups are directed to news.admin.net-abuse.misc.

If you want to see exactly which file was deleted from a particular
group, read the full report in news.admin.net-abuse.announce.  The
full report can also be found in alt.nocem.misc and alt.retromod.
Look for AR303 in the subject, or, if your reader supports it, use
this URL: news:ARMM-Report-303@redpoll.mrfs.oh.us

The criteria used to search for this batch of large binaries were:
   NEWSGROUPS: Unmoderated akr, biz, comp, misc, news, rec, or sci
	       (except for comp.binaries.apple2, comp.bugs.2bsd,
		and rec.games.bolo)
   BINARY: (base64, binhex, uuencode, and xbtoa encoded files, etc.)
   SIZE: > 100,000 characters (size * number of parts, if multi-part)

If you must post a binary to Usenet, please post it *only* to an
appropriate binaries newsgroup such as alt.binaries.misc, and do *not*
crosspost it to non-binaries groups.  This permits news administrators
and users to decide for themselves whether to receive binary files.

Please direct public feedback to news.admin.net-abuse.misc and private
feedback to red@redpoll.mrfs.oh.us.  Thanks.

Best wishes,
Dick
