You can joke back and forth and come up with all the childish BS you want,
but it still comes down to this is NOT a binary NG and mostly for very
obvious reasons. It is an international group shared by people throughout
the world who mostly come here to attain assistance for their problems. On
the whole, people are still paying per minute charges for connections and
others are even restricted more by having a ceiling on how much they can
download per month. Irresponsible posting of binaries is nothing more than
a slap in the face of those who don't have the free access that some seen to
take for granted with no regard for anybody but their selfish and childish
whims. If people wish to have their three seconds of fame with their
unnecessary attachments, there is the binaries news group willing to take
all you wish to provide.
