However, you cut the comments I was responding to and then pretended that I was responding to your actions. You said: >well, I would have to disagree (even if you don't think that binaries >coming via the mailing list would be a problem, there is still the >question of binaries posted via news - and the recent levels of abuse >in comp.binaries.*.d, rec.*, vmsnet.* etc. suggests that there are >plenty of people who are happy to post binaries anywhere they can >regardless of the real purpose of a group) And *that* is what I was responding to.
