- No he isn't, and I should have clarified that I was assuming he was
- referring to a non-binary newsgroup such as this. Like a lot of
- folks, I dl this stuff automaticly (with thor). Having such a
- message in any of the newsgroups I frequent would be flamed heartily
- by nearly all, not just me.
-
- In a binary group, or in email, such goings on are the rule. This is
- neither a binary group nor email. I am presently in correspondence
- with a gent in NZ who is netting to the rest of the world on a std
- line with a 2400 baud modem. A 200k .gif most certainly would not be
- looked upon with favor at his location, even if it was Cindy Crawford
- in her birthday suit! I thought twice before sending him a 6k file
- that might fix his problems. Thats called consideration.
-
- In short, these newsgroups do go all over the world, in some cases to
- locations where that included .gif would cost the recipient several
- dollars US to get. Again, if this was a binary group, I'd be way the
- hell outta line. This is not a binary group. And thats as close to a
- retraction as you'll get.
