Because a socket is a fundamentally binary object. I think it's great
that the framework makes such a clear distinction between binary data
and character data.

Note that you don't need to create a new instance of ASCIIEncoding
yourself - just use the Encoding.ASCII property.

(I'd also suggest using the Socket class that's built into the
framework, btw - or even TcpClient.)
