Please don't use this newsgroup for binary sharing. The reason why
Giganews wanted this newsgroup moderated was because they feared it
would be used as a dump group.

then where are the posting details for this group? I don't
see it on the etiquette page"
http://www.mozilla.org/community/etiquette.html
And why are you complaining about it now? I've been doing it
for some time, and you [or JoeS] should have murmured then.
Not a myriad of postings later.

"Posting details"?
I guess
<http://www.mozilla.org/community/developer-forums.html#testing>, and
<https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/test-multimedia>.
Did you actually think that was on-topic in this group?

I suppose I just assumed those were tests.

for mozilla.test.multimedia is says "For binary test
messages" and thats exactly what I did. I was testing
something for Reg.
> <https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/test-multimedia>.
then it says here: "This list and newsgroup is a place to
test posting and *reading binaries* with Mozilla-based
clients." Note the vehemency
> Did you actually think that was on-topic in this group?
yes. I was testing, and I'm waiting for reg's reply to see
if he'll be able to read [and hear] it.

just like this one was.
Chris Ilias
I saw the thread in mozilla.general that caused you to post your
original message here. I'm not an idiot; and I'm not going fall for your
semantics. You are now banned from posting in mozilla.test.multimedia.

What pathetic, juvenile, asinine, 'male' behaviour.

JoeS
(and have a little fun in the process) We haven't attracted a single regular poster, and the one who actually had valid questions has
just been banned.
Nothing in the above post placed any burden on the Giganews server, since it was simply a link.
I remember the assurances that were made when the group was "permitted" and nothing in the above post seems to violate that.
( the rest of my comments, I'll take to personal email)

Grant,
You don't need to explain or excuse yourself at all. The horse's ass
doesn't know what he's talking about. He hasn't even the littlest
inkling apparently what a link is as opposed to posting a binary. He has
been given the power to exert whatever pressure he believes right and is
doing so. His intention obviously is to create discord and destroy this
group. The sorriest day for Mozilla Newsgroups was when he was given
some authority.
Complain at Mozilla.governance and try to get Gervase Markham's
attention. He's the one that gave him the authority that he has. He's
the one that said to let him know if there are any problems.

Perhaps you're not an idiot, but you should learn what a link is as
compared to a posting with binary content. Since you obviously don't, it
follows that what you just said is one of the most insanely idiotic
things I've ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent
response were you close to anything that could be considered a rational
thought. Everyone in UseNet is now dumber for having heard it. I award
you no points and may God have mercy on your soul.
Now that you've hounded and banned Grant, you can also hound and ban me
as well.

Binary sharing ?? What the hell are you ranting about this time... you
are getting even more intolerable than you were when you took the time
to look at the support groups!

You don't know it was not testing now. maybe he is try to see if Reg can
see and hear it.
WE do have to be careful though about using Licensed music as apposed to
free versions of music such as mid/midi files.

Yes but it flat doesn't work in modern versions of SeaMonkey or
Thunderbird. I've tried to get it to work even going to about config and
turning on all the different security schemes.
So that's just out of the question.

just writing this blurb.
Gus Richter
Phil, I directed the advice to Grant since he's the one under fire by
Ilias, although it does not stop anyone else from doing the same.
If you fear retribution by Ilias, but still wish to express your concern
and dissatisfaction, then e-mail Gervaise personally, including to
mention your fear, else let Grant do it. He's the ball carrier in this
instance.

It is a sorry state indeed when users are fearful of posting in these
groups.

And even more of a shame is that a good number of the really good peer

ah yes! but the reason for them leaving (ask Chris) is because of all
the OT posts and subsequent "noise" - not to mention, of course, the
poor image that OT-posters leave with newbies!
