There > are loads of pictures on newsgroups. [...] Oh, you can probably perform the action of posting pictures to a regular newsgroup. But several things can then happen: a) nothing but praise & admiration for you -- not very likely; b) you get yelled at by lots of people and the conversation goes downhill from there; c) people complain to your ISP and you get mega-grief from them; d) your ISP catches your posting and kills it, so it nevers gets out onto the Net -- happens more now than it used to but does depend on your ISP being responsible and technically savvy; and/or e) other ISPs detect the binary content in a non-binary NG's post and delete the posting entirely -- happens a lot now. I may have missed a few options. Most are not happy ones from your POV. The other guys have been lucky; or maybe you never heard the full story of what happened to them. Take a tip and try other methods of passing pictures around. Eg, by all means post URLs of web pages or ftp sites carrying them. -- Andrew Stephenson
