- POINTS IN ORDER TO CLEAR UP EVERYONES MISQUOTING ME
- AND SPAMMING ON IRRELEVANT CRAP.
-
- 1) I am completely against posting binaries in non-binary groups and do not
- advocate doing so. I was pointing out how to protect yourself from
- having to download them in the future as IT WILL HAPPEN again and
- again.
-
- 2) It seems I have a very knowledgeable and complete service provider
- as they setup the UUCP packets for me to my custom tastes. Ask
- a tech (NOT SALES OR ADMIN) at your ISP. Most should be able to
- do this for you without additional cost. (IF THEY VALUE CUSTOMER SUPPORT)
-
- 3) Again I was posting not to advocate or defend posting binaries in non-binary
- groups, but to offer ways of saving money from having to DL binaries when
- you don't want them.. This was a problem we had when we setup the BBS
- UUCP node back in 1991 and some calling around and talking to TECHS at
- our ISP (NOT SALES OR ADMIN) came up with an easy and quick remedy
- of an ISP solution preventing unwanted binaries by newsgroups defined anyway
- we wanted it be it multipart headers or string search for thing like begin 644 and
- the like.
-
- 4) Of course NOONE has to do this!!!!!! I was offering it as a possible solution to save
- people some money on something that will definately happen again in the future.
- But instead of taking it for what it's worth, it seems a handfull of people here have decided
- to go on a crusade against what was a SUGGESTION by me..How the hell can I
- force anyone to take the steps I have outlined anyway? I can't. I only pointed out
- something that worked for us to save money!
