- What usually gets a non-work related group pulled from a site is excessive
- volume. Hence my work gets none of the alt.* or *.binaries.* groups and
- high volume ngs live a perillous existance. I lost my alt.*'s, and don't
- want to lose *.amiga.*. IMHO, the best option is to post a URL and make
- binaries available that way.

- Absolutely. Put them on a ftp site and post the URL instead please!
- Even if you don't have ftp, you can use ftp-mail.
