While it's obvious the current afb denizens are overwhelmingly against
having binaries posted here, there is one additional argument I haven't seen
made that is probably relevant.

Now that I have a broadband connection I'll go to a binaries group without
hesitation. But if I had a 56Kb (or slower) dial-up, I wouldn't likely
spend any time on a binaries group. And if I went to a non-binaries group,
clicked on a message and a giant download started I would be, shall we say,
chagrined.
