We're into this slippery slope stuff again. My ISP, and many others, has
different policies for newsgroups that have binaries than they do for
newsgroups that are text only. They keep many weeks of messages for the
text only newsgroups and only a few days of messages for the ones that
allow binaries.
Now I know that the occasional binary from one guy isn't going to make any
difference. But if it is OK for BWB to post binaries, then it is OK for
everyone to post them, and next thing you know ISPs will decide to back
off on how long they keep the messages around.
So, BWB (and everyone else) please refrain from posting binaries here. You
could put it on alt.binaries.pictures.aviation and just let us know you
posted it. Or you could put it on a web page.
Have a nice day.
