The message
from Frogleg contains these words:

There is no such thing as the "net police." Unmoderated groups can't
even filter out binary posts. Pictures belong in the various binary
groups established for their display -- binaries.pictures.gardens is
one. Or reference a URL where they can be viewed. It's not at all
"negative" to conserve bandwidth and the time of those with metered
access. It's simple politeness. Allowances are made for the ignorant,
but a kind hint to the uninformed isn't a "negative" comment.

Most servers strip binaries out for delivery of posts to non-binary
newsgroups.
