- 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 20 cancels for large binary files (average size 140,429
- characters - total size 2,808,588 characters) posted to 7 different
- unmoderated discussion groups in the rec, misc, comp, and sci
- hierarchies as follows:
- 10 sci.lang.translation
- 4 comp.databases.ms-access
- 2 comp.dcom.modems
- 1 rec.games.bolo
- 1 misc.test
- 1 comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.sports
- 1 comp.emulators.misc
-
- This pointer is being posted 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 AR249 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,
- Dick
