Funny, you never see pics of people in abse.

*This is harmful because most news servers have different retention times and posting rules for the two types of newsgroup. Text groups get a lot longer retention, so crossposting to a binary group makes the post disapear a lot sooner on many servers. Binaries are allowed in binary groups but not text groups, and some servers simply drop any such post into the bit bucket, while others do so only if it's a binary.
How many multiple posts? ;-)

Twould seem to be your news server. Most readers err on the side of expired posts (out of the box - default settings).

Most people would get a free web site like geocities and put them there so they can post links and save bandwidth etc (and they won't be deleted). Many ISPs don't carry the binary groups because of the wasted storage space for the junk that is being posted.
Yes. I was premature but didn't get that count once I had sorted out my newsreader so probably poor propagation via my newsserver :(
I've been naughty but wasn't intentional. Point taken though.

They mentioned "Pics of Poople"!!
