- Not arguing, but discussing, for once we differ Nico. From
- experience on the UseNet news we should know that even small
- binaries in discussion newsgroups induce others. This has happened
- at times way back then, at worst leading to some site managers
- deleting a newgroup at their site. Besides a discussion newsgroup
- is a discussion newsgroup.

- I don't buy this. We know quite well that they can be reached by
- email with an address that is readily available for comp.compression
- readers. For example both you and I have given them bug reports,
- and have got their attention and feedback.
