The message m
from netstudio contains these
words:

it's a real shame you don't allow direct
pictures which is very easy for many people who don't have the facility
or now how to host their own pictures.

"Not allowing" isn't Tumbleweed's personal decision. It's a usenet
regulation.

You are posting to a public service newsgroup, on Usenet. Usenet and
newsgroups are entirely independent of gardenbanter, the
lame-brain-website-for-internet-numpties through whose crappy portal
you're accessing this newsgroup.

I don't know any internet service providers (isp) that* don't* allow
if you have direct pictures /files .

You're revealing the gaping breadth of your ignorance. Isps do not
decide the charters of Usenet groups.

I trust the above helps and thank you for a such a good resource.

If a poster abuses Usenet (for instance by posting binaries to a
non-binary group), usually such behaviour contravenes the terms of
service of his isp. Multiple complaints from a group to that isp often
result in termination of the idiot's account and service. Most people in
uk.rec.gardening know how to locate a pests's isp in their Usenet
message header, and file a complaint.
