Ok, I'm going to use this post to cover everyone's replies thus far.  A ".d"
group is moderated.  You wont see certain messages in
those groups.  What do you mean it has nothing to do with what they are
posting?  Like if it says "hot blone looking..", and when you open the message
it says "come to my web site..."?  Well, that would be "just" in complaing...
It doesn't matter if there is a file attached to a person's message sinse most
news readers show you that the message has a file attached anyways (sometimes
with a paper clip)  If the picture is too big to download, there are things
like a "stop button" to stop downloading the message, and things like
"newsgroup filters" and settings like "max message size".   I think that the
real issue is underlying the message posting.  It's more rather that people in
these 2 groups just want the confrontation..   yall like to have something to
complain about..   gives ya something to do.
