It is not only exceptionally poor netiquette, but actually against the
NG's charter and BellCanada's TOS to post binaries in a non-binary NG.
Since there is a binary NG available for such purposes
(alt.binaries.simulators.autos), please use it -- though if you had, you
might see that what you're doing has already been done.
Claude- You just made your way into my Killfile.
Imagine all the modem users who just download the NON-BINARY newsgroups
"automatically" with Outlook Express.....with Pay-by-Minute phone taxes.....

Yeah, I can see how you'd have the same "accident" 29 times in a row.
Maybe, just possibly, he didn't know any better... ya think?

Some people who are on dial up and pay for every minute they are online
prefer to DL all the messages from the NG and read them off-line, with
80 MB of binary files in addition to the usual traffic in here, that's a
lot
I'd say that's a good reason to be upset about it, because that in
effect has locked those who don't have a fast download out from this NG
Of course, the person in question has apologized for this, so for me
it's not an issue anymore, yes, I'm on dialup during the weekends....
Beers and cheers

Geez...
The guy tries to do a favor, and you killfile him?
Nice Tude there...
No, he shouldn't have really done it. But kindness returns kindness. Just
tell the guy the rules, thank him for his efforts, and move along.
Has this newsgroup degraded or what?
