Default Identifying a slimey little "bug"

So what are the 'rules' on posting pics here? I'm not sure if I've seen
any.


The rules are the same for all the newsgroups; if the title doesn't have
"binary" or some other clear indication that photos are ok, then they are
forbidden. There are a variety of good reasons for this. One that may be
important to you is the fact that many ISPs will delete attachments or refuse to
accept posts that contain photos. Subscribers to those ISPs won't see your stuff
at all. Depending on the size of the attachment, subscribers to other ISPs may
just mark your post as read, call you bad names, killfile you, or complain to
your service provider.

Way down at the bottom of the list is the guy who receives your post, reads it,
and actually looks at the photo.
