- Binary posts do not belong in unmoderated discussion groups.
-
- I run a program that searchs for, and issues advisory cancels for,
- large binaries in the akr, biz, comp, misc, news, rec, and sci
- hierarchies.
-
- I have issued 27 cancels for large binary files (average size 265,156
- characters - total size 7,159,232 characters) posted to 25 different
- unmoderated discussion groups in the rec, misc, comp, and sci
- hierarchies (with cross-posts into utah, phx, nv, nm, houston, az,
- austin, asu, alt, and vegas groups) as follows:
- 6 comp.os.os2.advocacy
- comp.os.os2.apps
- comp.os.os2.beta
- comp.os.os2.comm
- comp.os.os2.multimedia

- The cancels in non-targeted groups are an unavoidable consequence of
- the way cancels work. A cross-posted article has only one Message-ID.
- When it is canceled from one group it is canceled from all groups.
-
- This pointer is being posted (in two parts :-) ) to each affected group
- listed above, with the exception of test groups. Follow-ups are
- directed to news.admin.net-abuse.misc.
-
- If you want to see exactly which file was deleted from a particular
- group, or the criteria that I used to select it, read the full report
- in news.admin.net-abuse.announce. Look for AR248 in the subject.
- The full report can also be found in alt.nocem.misc and alt.retromod.
-
- If you must post a binary to Usenet, please post it *only* to an
- appropriate binaries newsgroup such as alt.binaries.misc, and do *not*
- crosspost it to non-binaries groups. Then, if you like, post something
- in the appropriate discussion group telling people where to find the
- binary in the binaries group (a pointer to the binary). This will
- permit news administrators and users to decide for themselves whether
- to receive the binary files.
-
- Please direct public feedback to news.admin.net-abuse.misc and private
- feedback to red@redpoll.mrfs.oh.us. Thanks.

- Best wishes,
