There is a newsgroup for just about everything, and the binaries groups are for posting binary files. It's really not that difficult a concept if you can spend some time pondering it. >There are people who think the universe revolves around themselfs and it is these same >people who will always complain about others because the others don't conform to what >these people believe their universe should revolve like. Unfortunatly these same I always find it so amusing when the one person who disagrees with the vast majority takes it upon him/herself to talk about how *everybody else* sees him/herself as the center of the universe, don't you? >disgruntled self important and selfrightous individuals have set themselfs up for a >life time of dissapointment and frustration because they have choosen to adorn the >blinders of a race horse, refusing to believe that there is more to life then there >petty bickerings and narrow minded views. Please pay no attention to the fools behind >the keyboards and welcome to the net. What a pile of self-aggrandizing, (and misspelled) drivel. "adorn the blinders of a race horse"?!?! Are you suggesting that the people here are really only 4 lines tall and can be pasted/stapled/sprayed/sewn (pick one) onto a race-horse's blinders? That's a cruel thing to say. Anyway, once again (music reaching a crescendo in the background), there is a newsgroup for binary postings of ascii art. This is simply not it. There is also a newsgroup for get rich quick schemes, and for buy-and-sell. This is not either of those either. If the one is ok by you, then I assume the others are also? Are you, in fact, advocating the idea that whatever anybody wants to post is ok because anybody who doesn't like it is a self-righteous fool? Here's a though. Maybe we should opt for one giant newsgroup from which we can all download millions of headers every day. What the heck, after all, "... there is more to life then there petty bickerings and narrow minded views.", Jethro. So, there it is. Whatever anybody wants to post is ok. Never mind the newsgroups specifically created for the postings. Post everything here (or where ever the heck else you feel like it). Cricket is open minded. Cricket has spoken! Anybody who objects is spackle on a horse's blinders. Happy spam collecting Cricket. Oh, and if you are finding the concept of posting to *appropriate* newsgroups (out of courtesy, if nothing else) too complicated, then by all means, please post your questions here. I'm sure someone else will be able to explain it better than I have. Alan
