This is not a "binarys" group.

That means that you are not suposed to post pictures,
programs, or anything except else pure text messages.

Posting pictures can cause problems for many readers.
Some ISPs only allow non-binary usenet groups on their
servers. If they find files like this on their server, they will
block ALL messages from that group, so anybody that
used to read this group through that ISP will no longer
have access.

Another issue is that pictures take much longer to
download than pure text messages. Some people
are still on slow dial-up accounts and large messages
are slow to download so they stay away from binary
groups in favor of text groups like this one.

The better thing to do is put your pictures on your web site
and provide links to the pictures in your text message.
The other thing you can do is post your images on a
binary group, and then tell us where they are.

She's cute, but she doesn't belong here.
