J3, ignore the idiots that are too stupid to not to download things they
don't
understand or that they're too lazy to even try to figure out. There's no
way
you can please everyone but the comments I've seen border on the
ludicrous. No
one is forced to download anything here they don't want. Nor has the
group ever
suffered from a lack of bandwidth.

From those of us who enjoyed the pictures, thank you.

As to those who whined and bitched and resorted to name calling like 5
year
olds... go find yourself a life - somewhere else. Someone tries to do you
a
favor and all you do is find fault. If it bothers you that much, put the
poster
in your kill file but keep your filty mouth shut about it. Every time you
open
your mouth like that, you're just telling the world how much of a fool you
are.
The thing is, no one else cares what you do or even what you think.
Cheers,
jc

Wow; big words (I'll bet you even spell-checked it, with the exception of
"filty" in the last paragraph; I think you meant "filthy")! People haven't
been complaining about the format so much as it is not a standard one - this
is a "binaries" group - that does not include .rar and .par files. When J3
announced his intention to flood the group, he didn't indicate that he was
going to use a non-standard format. Most people have never heard about .rar
and .par formats. If J3 had announced he was going to post in "x" format,
people could have prepared; instead, they missed many parts trying to work
out what was being posted.

People have been complaining that it has been going on for several days,
taking up room on individual servers; it's not the 'group' that stores the
data, as you would be aware. People have also been complaining about the
number of parts, which never show up on servers in any sequence.

If J3 had posted, say, four parts per day, or even 40, people wouldn't be
concerned about it as long as they were in sequence for that day. J3
however, chose to post several hundred parts; each out of sequence (not his
fault, I'm sure) and caused servers to be overloaded for more than five
days.

In addition, it is quite easy to post multiple images at one time; NG floods
in .jpg/.jpeg/.bmp format have been going on for years, long before .rar and
..par formats started to be used.

Alan, no matter how he posted it someone would have whined like a baby about
something. Is it so hard to simply ignore the stuff you don't like without all
the whining and complaining? And I don't think you could really call rar's 'non
standard.' They've been around for a while and while I haven't seen them here
much, I guess using google or yahoo to find out about them is just too much to
ask, right?

And no, I didn't and don't use a speel checker.
Cheers,
jc

Yes, it is too much to ask. As I suggested, servers have limited capacity;
putting up as much data as J3 did at one time might exclude other's posts.

No servers I know of have limited capacity.

At the end of a tiny deserted bar is a huge scouse bloke - 6ft 5in tall and 350lbs. He's having a few beers, when a short, well dressed and obviously gay man walks in and sits beside him.
After 3 or 4 beers, the gay fella finally plucks up the courage to say something to the big Liverpudlian.
Leaning over, he cups his huge ear. "Do you want a blow job?" he whispers.
At this, the massive Merseysider leaps up with fire in his eyes and smacks the man in the face, knocking him off the stool, he proceeds to beat him all the way out of the bar.
Finally he leaves him, badly bruised, in the car park and returns to his seat as if nothing had happened.
Amazed the bartender quickly brings over another beer. "I've never seen you react like that" he says. "Just what did he say to you?"
"I'm not sure" the big scouser replies." Something about a job."

Really? And how many servers are you aware of (location, type,
manufacturer, capacity etc)?

Newsguy and Giganews each keep binaries for at least 100 days. Hmm.. I just
looked. http://www.giganews.com/ says that Giganews keeps binaries for
_200_ days. Newsguy http://newsguy.com/ guarantees 90 days, but in my
experiences it's always over 100.

For Binaries??? Often those who carry them limit the space and/or
retention time of them, some as low as 24 hours, but most are around 5
or 10 days.

Some of the commercial Usenet operations, e.g. OctaNews, carry them for
a lot longer, 3 months or so.

Cheers,

Thank you for answering the question for Peter, Gary.

Yes, it's usually a time limit, spread across ALL binary groups. J3's
posts is nothing compared with all the trafffic in every binary group
on the server.

It's not what you wear. It's how you take it off.

Exactly. The moaners are making a mountain out of a pimple.

Ignore 'em, J3. Keep on going.

Just to **** 'em off further, I may post a few of the pix as well... using
YENC, of course.
