As I understand Chris, not for binaries though?

Wendy,
You are correct that eternal september effectively does not carry binaries.
However, it's irrelevant and has been irrelevant since 2004.

I've been saying this for a couple years now and I'm still trying
to figure out why you have difficulty comprehending it.
If you want to post a handful of pictures get an account on flickr,
or picasaweb or deviantart or... Upload the picture there, paste
the URL AND A DESCRIPTION on discussion forum (Be it mailing list,
blog, USENET, social networking).
It works with mailing lists. It works with USENET. It works with
google groups. It works with twitter. It works with facebook.
It works with myspace...

If you don't like the terms and conditions of the sites I listed,
look through
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...aring_websites

And if you read through the terms and conditions, don't like them,
and think that posting a picture to USENET or a mailing list
has terms and conditions that are any better, you are deluding
yourself (The terms are someone that stumbles across it will
use the image without your permission for commercial gain and unless
it's sitting on a web server you manage and they're using your
bandwidth to display it without permission there is precious
little you can do to stop it).

I may be a neanderthal that refuses to use facespace, or mybook,
but I've also known for 12+ years that putting pictures on the web
and putting a URL to the picture in a discussion is the better way to do
things.
