--begin binary.notice-- Your blatant violation of the USENET hierarchy is unforgivable. The binary groups exist for the purpose of carrying such images to those who wish to view them. The posting of binary files to non-binary groups is disruptive to those who maintain news servers. They take up disk space, and may cause the premature expiration of messages, or even in extreme cases the, the dropping of the newsgroup from the servers. In addition, the posting of copyrighted images without permission is illegal throughout the United States, Europe, and most of the Pacific rim. Please reconsider any subsequent binary postings to non-binary groups. --end binary.notice--
