Every binary group has "binaries" in its name.

I don't know what you mean by "they", but inividual.net, a
respected news server, stripped off your attachments because this
is not a binary group. (If it were, individual.net wouldn't carry
it.)

I would have liked to see those registry entries, but of course
you're under no obligation to post them in readable fashion.
