Re: bincancel:14 large binaries:AR312:@@NCM

Binary posts do not belong in unmoderated discussion groups. I run a program that searchs for, and issues advisory cancels for, large binaries in the akr, biz, comp, misc, news, rec, and sci hierarchies. I have issued 14 advisory cancels for large binary files or parts thereof (total size 1,536,804 characters) posted to 11 different unmoderated discussion groups in the rec, news, misc, comp, and sci hierarchies as follows: 3 comp.emulators.apple2 2 misc.invest.real-estate 1 sci.geo.satellite-nav 1 sci.econ 1 rec.music.industrial 1 rec.games.chess.analysis 1 news.newusers.questions 1 news.admin.net-abuse.misc 1 comp.lang.perl.misc 1 comp.graphics.api.opengl 1 comp.databases.informix This pointer is being posted to each affected group listed above. Follow-ups are directed to news.admin.net-abuse.misc. If you want to see exactly which file was deleted from a particular group, read the full report in news.admin.net-abuse.announce. The full report can also be found in alt.nocem.misc and alt.retromod. Look for AR312 in the subject, or, if your reader supports it, use this URL: news:ARMM-Report-312@redpoll.mrfs.oh.us The criteria used to search for this batch of large binaries were: NEWSGROUPS: Unmoderated akr, biz, comp, misc, news, rec, or sci (except for comp.binaries.apple2, comp.bugs.2bsd, and rec.games.bolo) BINARY: base64, binhex, uuencode, and xbtoa encoded files, etc. SIZE: > 100,000 characters [(size * (# of parts - .5)), if multi-part] If you must post a binary to Usenet, please post it *only* to an appropriate binaries newsgroup such as alt.binaries.misc, and do *not* crosspost it to non-binaries groups. This permits news administrators and users to decide for themselves whether to receive binary files. Please direct public feedback to news.admin.net-abuse.misc and private feedback to red@redpoll.mrfs.oh.us. Thanks. Best wishes, Dick -- Richard E.
