It's official (Verizon) - Anyone care if I post pictures at RGO?
Ray,
I have been looking at setting up a news-group server for hosting abpo and rgo archives. As it would be publicly accessible, would that alleviate the pressures for you??? Kye "Ray B" wrote in message news:S4W5k.6520$Mu.6482@trndny07... Dear Verizon Online Customer, As a Verizon Newsgroup service user, we wanted to let you know about some important changes that we will soon be making to our Newsgroup service. On June 24, 2008, we will be modifying our Newsgroup offerings to only offer groups in the Big-8 Newsgroup hierarchies, which are listed below. The 0.verizon.* newsgroup hierarchy will also continue to be available. Users will not be able to post or download from any other newsgroups using our Newsgroup service. comp.* humanities.* misc.* news.* rec.* sci.* soc.* talk.* More details regarding the Big 8 newsgroup hierarchies is available at: http://www.big-8.org/.

There you are, Kye. Why did we need a separate group from rgo for photos? If
anyone can explain it, you can, since you set this one up way back when. Diana "BIO-Dex Consulting" wrote in message ...

Basically, only a binaries group should have files posted to it under the
rules that were established when usenet was created many decades ago. Those rules are now a part of netiquette and many people get irate when they are broken. I created abpo because there were people posting photos to rgo and a great many flame wars were being started by it. Kye "Diana Kulaga" wrote in message ... There you are, Kye.

ISP's block them. I posted a message on RGO yesterday with an image (via Verizon), has anyone seen it? -- Ray Barkalow - First Rays Orchids - www.firstrays.com Plants, Supplies.

Haven't seen it yet Ray.
I have in the past accidentally posted photos to RGO and these have appeared, so not sure that they will necessarily get stripped off.

Its not that they will get stripped universally, but that some servers will
not allow binaries to transmit through on non-binary groups, therefore limiting their users ability to view them Kye "John Varigos" wrote in message om... Haven't seen it yet Ray.

Thanks for the clarification, Kye.
OK so it is blocked from even getting onto Usenet! That makes life difficult. Please explain in more detail your proposal, "I have been looking at setting up a news-group server for hosting abpo and rgo archives. As it would be publicly accessible, would that alleviate the pressures for you???" There are archives already available e.g. http://www.usenet-replayer.com/group...2Eorchids.html Cheers John "Ray B" wrote in message news:haL6k.44069$lE3.347@trnddc05...

John,
Yes there are already archives available in a great many formats and payment options. But I have been toying with the idea for a few years now (since before I made abpo) and now havethe facility to build a news-server to serve abpo and rgo to people. Basically, I will be building the server with a "never delete messages" option for myself, Rays (and a few others) dilemma just causes me to want to make it go public a few years earlier than I had intended.

You might ask the owner/operator of the Annexcafe server to create a group
for you. He welcomes polite, grateful groups and I'm sure this group would qualify. You have to sign up (free) to access the server, that keeps spammers out, I post to several groups there and it is a well run place. Check it out at www.annexcafe.com If you want to request a group I'll be happy to put in a good word for you having lurked here for quite some time.
