Newsgroups were never originally designed to handle binary files. The ability to do so was bastardized into the system and should be eliminated completely. |

| I have VZ FIOS and there aren't many missing newsgroups that I would use.
As far as binary files in newsgroups are concerned, I agree it was a compromise but it works great IMHO. If anyone is using an email program for Newsgroups good luck to them. Sure it will work, but a dedicated Newsgroup reader with PAR and RAR built in makes it all so easy and at least the one I use is free. |

Not everyone uses newsgroups for thievery, but since that seems to be the main use these days, I wouldn't mind seeing ISPs stop the service. |
