bincancel:18 large binaries:AR940:@@NCM
Richard E. Depew
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Large misplaced binaries have been arriving more frequently than usual.
I have issued 18 cancels for large binary files (average size 178,383
characters - total size 3,210,897 characters) posted to 17 different
unmoderated discussion groups in the comp, misc, news, rec, and
soc hierarchies (with cross-posts into into alt and aus groups) as
follows:
4 rec.martial-arts
4 rec.antiques.marketplace
2 rec.arts.animation
1 soc.culture.french
1 rec.collecting.dolls
1 rec.aviation.simulators
1 rec.autos.antique
1 news.newusers.questions
1 misc.transport.urban-transit
1 comp.misc
comp.multimedia
comp.publish.cdrom.multimedia
comp.publish.cdrom.software
comp.publish.electronic.misc
comp.sys.mac.graphics
comp.sys.mac.misc
1 comp.graphics.apps.photoshop
alt.binaries.pictures.animals
alt.binaries.pictures.fractals
alt.binaries.pictures.fine-art.misc
alt.binaries.pictures.teen-idols
alt.binaries.pictures.vehicles
alt.binaries.pictures.cartoons
aus.photo
A pointer to this report will be cross-posted to each affected newsgroup.
There has been a long-standing consensus among news administrators that
binaries belong in binaries newsgroups, and not elsewhere. There also
is a consensus supporting the cancellation of large binaries in
discussion groups provided that appropriate protocols are followed.
Please see <URL:http://www.southcom.com.au/~geniac/binfaq.txt>, the
"bincancel FAQ", for further background.
These cancels follow the "<cancel.", "cyberspam!", "bincancel!", and
"X-Canceled-By: " conventions. News administrators may block these
cancel messages specifically by aliasing out "bincancel" or generally
by aliasing out "cyberspam".
The criteria used to search for this batch of large binaries were:
NEWSGROUPS: Unmoderated groups in the akr, biz, comp, humanities,
misc, news, rec, nz, sci, soc, and talk hierarchies
(except for comp.binaries.apple2, comp.bugs.2bsd, and
rec.games.bolo)
BINARY: base64, binhex, uuencode, and xbtoa encoded files, etc.
SIZE: > 100,000 characters [(size * (# of parts - .5)), if multi-part]"
The contents of the binary files are not relevant to the criteria for
classifying an article as a "large binary". The classification is done
by a program that examines form, not content.
In my opinion, the best way to distribute a binary is via ftp or the
web unless there is great demand for this binary. With the ready
availablity of ftpmail servers, even uucp sites can retrieve binaries
from ftp sites.
However, if you are convinced that there is great demand for your
binary, please post it *only* to an appropriate binaries newsgroup
such as in the alt.binaries sub-hierarchy, and do *not* crosspost
it to non-binaries groups. Then, if you like, post something in
the appropriate discussion group telling people where to find the
binary in the binaries group (a "pointer" to the binary). This
will permit news administrators and users to choose, in advance,
whether to receive these binary files.
If there is an unmoderated group that accepts large binaries in the
hierarchies that I scan, other than comp.binaries.apple2,
comp.bugs.2bsd, or rec.games.bolo, I don't know about it yet. Feel
free to enlighten me.
Please direct public feedback to news.admin.net-abuse.usenet and private
feedback to myself at r...@redpoll.mrfs.oh.us.
