Default Identifying a slimey little "bug"

George,

I'm not sure what the "binary" part means. How do I make sure it is flagged
as ok. Do I need to put something in the title?

Sounds to me like you're saying pics can be ok, did I get that right? Looks
as if my last pic made it on the board ok. Who is the board admin?

Thanks,
B

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.
