SURVEY: Binaries on Alt.Food.Barbecue
The expiration time on Alt.Binaries.Food is preposterous.
Being an alt.binaries group, it gets lumped in with the handfuls of PORN groups. The pix folks post of their food porn only last long enough for the addicts to view them. When us reformed (or non-admitted) addicts get there the beautiful pix are long gone. I would like to see if there is objection to posting of BBQ Pictures to this group. Please reply to the top of this thread with a simple subject line of Yes or No. If you want discussion go ahead and add some -miket |

Personally, I think it's a bad idea to post binaries to a non-binary group (only a small portion of the alt hierarchy is binary). I access Usenet from a couple of different sources, some of which tolerate binaries and some of which don't. For example, right now I'm using a Supernews account that specifically doesn't include any binary groups (it's quite a bit cheaper than one that does). If this groups started including binaries, at best I wouldn't get the images, but at worst Supernews might start considering this a binary group and drop it from their non-binary service. Google also doesn't archive or support binaries, so anyone who posts from Google would be left out. Top posting is also evil, but it's probably not a good idea to resurrect that thread right now ;-) Alan |

SURVEY: Binaries on Alt.Food.Barbecue _NO_!
And again, "NO" The retention time is a function of the policies of YOUR SELECTED news provider. Attempting to solve the problem(s) that you have with your selected provider by impacting every other reader of this newsgroup is rather selfish, not to say impractical. Why so? Most news providers do not go out of their way to cater to usenet, regarding it as a sort of mysterious burden they have to assume. If you transform a non-binary group into a binary group they will eventually respond to the increased resources consumed and the retention will fall in line with their treatment of other binaries groups. For those readers whose ISP or news provider do not carry binary groups as a matter of policy, they will eventually conclude that afb is a binaries group and drop it. In "solving" your problem you make it more likely that others will lose access to afb altogether or force them to do what you should do. Get a different news provider. That said, you are always free to propose changes to the group's charter and there are sanctioned means to do so $0.02 (top-posted only because you so requested...)

Just say "no" to binaries on afb
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. -- TFM3 Note: Spam-resistant e-mail address |

Lengthy text threads in binary groups are taboo, but it's done anyway. Binaries in dedicated discussion groupls (text) is worse. Abuse of a group charter for personal benefit is not in the best interest of all users. Therefore it should not be done. Retention time is a problem for casual surfers. No doubt about it. Abusers of usenet should be aware that some of the major newsgroup providers adhere to a stringent policy of acceptable use. Acceptable use is monitored by dozens of accredited administrators around the world. A rmgroup post by any one of them can cause a newsgroup to be blacklisted for cause. Each ISP will then treat that blackball according to its' own whim. My primary ISP, Airnews will not carry AFB because it's been rmgrouped for lack of published charter. For that reason I subscribed to Teranews for ABF only. Retention is a few days at best, but it's free. M&M Man |

I'm sorry, Brick, I'm missing your point. I have _what_ right? TFM® was seeming to imply that he could try to send a binary to afb, but that it wouldn't arrive. All I was saying was that there must be _some_ news servers that allow binaries onto afb. Otherwise, how would we get all of the .scr and .exe files posted on this group that purport to be one thing (nude pictures, system updates) but are actually something else (viruses). I've never tried to post a binary anywhere. So I don't know _what_ my news server would allow. P.S. Ain't lookin' to pick a fight.
