I rather enjoyed it. Clayton, some people don't like graphic or wav
files on this ng cuz it slows it down. It's an amusing little picture,
but next time ya may wanna just display a link to the page where the pic
can be found. That way, you don't get a bunch of people flaming you for
trying to make things a little cheery on a slow news day.

Not that it 'slows it down', but a) the size of the single binary post, due
to the way newsservers are configured, bumnps the expiration time of all
the others posts up by an order of magnitude; and b) putting binary image
posts in a non-binary groups (which have differing size and expiration
dates programmed due to the different data-type), which is contrary to
Usenet policy, is grounds for removing the 'offending' newsgroup from a
server. If it happens repeatedly, that WILL happen and has happened in the
past.

Like Arsaell said, please don't do it again, or your system administrator
will probably receive some email from other newsadmins. And we don't want
YOU removed either, Clayton. Kept it kosher.
