I have digital photo software and have tried others. However, how can I
post just one photo to a newsgroup? Anything I look at only allows me to
send a whole album to e-mail. Do I need a web page? Many thanks - and
sorry for the OT post.

You can send one or many to the binary groups --
alt.binaries.whatever. AFAIK, the 'album' sites don't require a
specific minimum number of pics. Which one(s) were you looking at?
Does your ISP include any "personal web space"? If so, you You can put
pics there with a minimum of fuss.

Posting pictures to usenet is pretty simple. Compose a message with your
regular news client, add the pic as an attachment, and hit send. It varies
slightly depending on the news client but it's pretty much the same.

Try some test postings to alt.test.binaries

I generally use:

http://www.ofoto.com It's free and anyone can look at the
pictures and if it really suits their fancy - they can buy
individual pictures.

Please do not post pictures to rec.food.cooking by this method. Your
best bet is to put them up on a Web page and post the URL.

And leave a pointer here.

I tend to forget about binary newsgroups as my main news server doesn't
carry them. My secondary one does, though.

Thank you, Miche.

There should be no posting of pictures to Usenet, period. I realize there
are binaries, but still it was never Usenet's purpose. Another reason not to
post picture to Usenet is not everyone can see them. I, and many others, do
not use graphic-based newsreaders. So, when someone post a picture to this
group, it appears as several thousand lines of random text. Totally useless.

That's pretty darn silly, nb. If you can't view binaries, don't
subscribe to binary groups. That doesn't mean no one else should.

There should be no evolution? Should TV still be black & white, or perhaps
we should have just stuck with radio?

I heartily agree that pictures should not be posted to regular groups, but
binaries are for binary posting.

Keep this line of reasoning up and we'll all be reduced to living in caves.

I don't subscribe to binary groups. I go to html websites, the proper place
to do graphics. Sure, one can argue that if it's possible to post graphics
on Usenet, why not. But it's like arguing it's ok to use a screwdriver as a
prybar. Sure, it works, after a fashion. But, there are serious problems
created by doing so.

Usenet was never intended for graphics. That's what html is for. Service
providers, who originally put a small amount of storage
space/bandwith/resources aside for Usenet on their servers, now find
overwhelming amounts of data (graphics files) being xfered to lil' ol'
Usenet servers. So, what used to be a nice little service offering as a
bonus, used to attract customers, has now become a major resource hog. Sure,
they realize that a small percentage of customers want this resource. But,
that small percentage uses the overwhelming majority of it. So, what do the
ISP's do? First, they start limiting it. No more than n gigabytes per day.
Some quit carrying it, altogether. Others start charging for it. I'm
almost in that category. While Comcast hasn't yet changed over to a pay-for
Usenet service, they are on the verge. I've researched other ISP's. Many
no longer offer Usenet access at all and one must now pay for it through a
3rd party commercial service, one that charges actual money! This all
because a few think they should be allowed to use the screwdriver as a
prybar.

People are often lazy and inconsiderate. It's easier to abuse existing
services like Usenet and email, never thinking of the consequences, than to
make the effort to learn to use the applications and protocols that are more
appropriate and make efficienct use of resources. Look at my sig ..."please
trim your posts". It's basic conservation. Recycle your trash, brew your
own beer, trim your posts!

Not true. HTML/HTTP was not designed with graphics support in mind,
it was originally text only. It would be incorrect to say that the
web was somehow intended to be the "proper" way to exchange image files.

HTML = hyperTEXT transfer protocol

I don't know where you got this idea. The growth of usenet traffic has
nothing to do with binary files specifically.

I think maybe you're just wearing your curmudgeon hat today
