I don't mean to be a grouch, but I'm sure others will also let you know that you really shouldn't be posting binaries here on r.a.s. The odd setup file that is 50 lines or so is ok, but larger than that belongs in the binaries group and is bad netiquete to post here. Lots of people have to pay to download/read these articles, not me of course :) but I just thought I would let you know this more gently than some others who will probably flame. Cheers. --John -- ------------------- John (Joao) Silva http://weber.u.washington.edu/~jsilva Seattle, Washington USA.

Grow up and show a little respect for others. John was simply explaining one of the components of netiquette that need to be followed to help maintain containment of the chaos usenet generates. Usenet is a virtual society. In order for it to continue to evolve and work for the members of this society, certain "common law" guidelines need to be maintained. One of those netiquette guidelines is NOT to post large binaries to discussion groups. At least John's post was intelligent and informative. -- **************************** Michael E.

in response to Joao's reminder about binaries not belonging in this group has posted his entry in the r.a.s twit of the month contest. Or is that "Quit crying, ***!" Oh heavens, I am paralyzed with trepidation lest I too be skewered by the rapier-like wit of the infamous RaCer X, but nevertheless, as did Lancelot, I too shall endeavor to cross the bridge of swords unscathed. You, dear sir, because of your utter lack of respect for long time denizens of this forest, have been kill-filed. As I expect many others will choose the same option, your illiterate responses will now just bandy harmlessly around ***space. Amazing! How does one manage to***up the grammer in a three word response? eric

It's interesting to note that 107 lines of exceeding useful information is considered "bad netiquete" but 60+ lines complaining about it isn't? I wouldn' even want to count the number of "GP2 is here!" lines or "Let's split this newsgroup" lines but I think the biggest problem with this newsgroup is that it discourages the distribution of useful information and yet its readers eagerly contribute to the continuation of often meaningless threads.

Eric, I could be wrong, but I think grammer is actually spelt grammar. :)

Brad, Notice that I was not flaming him for it this time, more like letting him know that it is not proper to do in the future. The 60 plus lines you are talking about was Mr. Racer X quoting my whole article so he could call me a feline and to tell me to quit crying. Netiquette folks, it's not new, but many of you didn't get told about it with your "20 free hours of internet fun!" (TM) trial offers. Maybe meaningless to you, if you don't care about it then don't read it. I know, it's easier to sit there and *** about it when you don't do anything to remedy it. --John -- ------------------- John (Joao) Silva http://weber.u.washington.edu/~jsilva Seattle, Washington USA.

>It's interesting to note that 107 lines of exceeding useful >information is considered "bad netiquete" but 60+ lines >complaining about it isn't? Unfortunately in this case, it's not a question of the content. The sad fact is that there are sysops out there who will stop offering a newsgroup if they think it is being used to transmit binaries. Now, I for one could be selfish since my ISP offers a _very_ complete newsfeed and has no objections to offering binary newsgroups <g>. That may also be the case for you, but I'm sure that, like me, you wouldn't want the group to be diminished through losing contributors and readers because the group starts being perceived as an acceptable forum for binaries. IMHO, John's post was very reasonable. Unfortunately it is very difficult to complain, however nicely, without coming across like the "Net Police". Couldn't agree with you more. Which makes me wonder, why did you send your post? Come to that, why am I sending this.....? <VBG> Richard

[snip] There are a few vigilant Net-Police out there who will cancel large-binaries in discussion groups. I can't recall off the top of my head what the "line" limit is. It is okay to post small binaries in a discussion group, though there will always be some who will complain.
