- That's not the POINT! This is NOT a Binary Newsgroup. It's one thing Spaming
- with a Message, it's another to Post these LARGE Binary Files in a NON-Binary
- Newsgroup. Downloading just Headers is just a BIG Waste of time in Normal
- Confrences. I, like many have the Newsreader Download everything New in the
- Confrence because it's NOT a Binary Newsgroup. The Binary Newsgroups I do
- GET, I do just Grab the Headers and then Pickup what I want, Otherwize I'd be
- connected for hours downloading all kinds of crap.
-
- The SSBOOTFILE does NOT need to be posted here. It can be DOWNLOADED by
- ANYONE on the Shapeshifter WEB Page if they want it. I sure didn't want
- another copy of that crap, nor did I expect to be getting Crap like that in
- this Newsgroup. This has nothen to do with CHEAP NEWSREADERS! It has to do
- with Jerks posting crap like this thinking there being Helpful when there not.
