A Little Help

[Mea505]

Is there anyone in this group who may be willing to receive digital
photos of plants to help me identify their species?

FYI: I am the one who presented the questions about sunlight and
plants.

Why not post them in the group alt.binaries.pictures.gardens

that's a good place for such things.

Excellent idea! I didn't realize that such a group existed; however,
if I had taken the time to search, I would have found same, no?

Thanks for your help.

OK, help me out here: I am not 'used to using the alt.binaries'
groups; I just attempted to get online with one of them, and this
specific server wants money. Is this normal, or was I about to be one
of the many whom are thwarted from the free sources?

It might be worth checking out whether your ISP offers free websites with
your fees.

I can't get the binary groups anymore.

I'm a Comcast member and this is not a problem. I'm using Thunderbird
as ng browser. Comcast offers a ton of webspace for uploading files.
There system is a little cumbersome but I've been using Filezilla and it
is very easy once set up.

I pay for it. Newsguy.com is reasonable and worth it.

Honestly, I'm not sure the binaries are worth it to me anymore.

Some of our news providers don't carry binary newsgroups. Better to post the
pictures at a site like www.photobucket.com so everyone can see them.

Forget binary newsgroups. Post your pictures at www.photobucket.com. Free.
Simple.

I understand, I'm only viewing the a.b.p.gardens, weather and nature.
I do enjoy them, though. Newsguy is just a better newsfeed for the
few groups I still follow. I'm a rec.gardens junkie <G>

This is true, also. Some ISP's offer some hosting, too, so you can
use your own space.

I have two ISPs, as I have houses in two different states. At one, I get
binary newsgroups with my newsgroups on a cable modem feed. At the other, I
do not get any binaries and am on a dish feed to a land tower. Sorry, I
forgot. At my cabin, I also have newsgroups, but they are very few, are on
a dish to satellite route, and I haven't even really been there enough this
year to even set it up.

I thought they just came with the monthly fee. Not so. I was informed by
more knowledgeable people where I could get binary newsgroups from specific
providers on the net, but it would be at a fee. On my land to land dish, I
have a monthly bandwidth limit, and when I get close, my service starts to
slow down. That's how it was explained to me. I haven't ever approached
the limit, so one would have to find out what constitutes sending and
receiving enough material to affect bandwidth limits.

I guess the short answers are that there are sites that will provide you
with binary groups. For a fee. And then you will have to monitor your use
so you don't rack up additional charges or slowed service from your ISP.

HTH.

I use flickr, and when I have a question to a newsgroup, I'll put the thing
in question on flickr, then put the link on my question in the newsgroup.
That works pretty good, and is free. This also targets the newsgroup of
people you want to ask about a particular thing, like bird, plant, fish,
etc, to people who know such things, and not to thousands of people who are
not interested in those topics. Plus, others may be in your same boat and
not get binaries either, so you'll miss a lot of prospective answers.
