18 Okay, but what if I want to post binary files SOMEPLACE? (Alt.Tv.Xena)
Hey, binary files are welcome on the Usenet! Just make sure you
post to one of the "alt.binaries..." news groups. Then post an
announcement here in alt.tv.xena telling us where to look. The
news group alt.binaries.multimedia.xena-herc exists specifically
for X:WP and H:TLJ binary posts. However, some ISPs do not carry
the newsgroup.
It is okay to cross-post to several binary groups, especially if
their names are in the alt.* hierarchy, since no alt.* group is
guaranteed to be carried by all servers (in fact, NO news group
is guaranteed to be carried by all servers). In practice, it's
better to cross post than to post to individual groups because
cross posting saves space. Posting the same article to many
different groups is called "spamming" and is frowned upon.
However, do not cross post binary files between binary and
non-binary news groups.
