ABPW

RE: Subject

Think Astraweb.

$25 got me a 50 year supply.

Even $10 will get you a 20 year supply.

As mentioned often I paid astraweb $10 in June of 2008 for 25 GB of
downloading. Thus far I have used less than 1GB.

Again $10 will get you almost infinite access to astraweb with the small
usage of binaries that you and I have...

It sounds better than hard core politicians in a woodworking group.

I've been thinking of doing this but for now it's just too much bother.
ABPW had few pictures when it was free for the world, it couldn't
have picked up any with deliberate effort required to see
it...Alt.Binary.Photo.Original was always really busy though, and I
think they remain busy, since it is hard core photographers in a
photograph newsgroup.

ABPW (the part you edited out) is a woodworkers binary group. It has
plenty to do with woodworking, nothing much to do with granite counter
tops. Most/all the pictures are taken by woodworkers that got a camera
for Christmas, so it is not all that important to woodworkers. ABPO's
subject is photography and inhabited by photographers. Pictures are
their thing so it was worth their bother to sign on, and pay, for a
binary group. Alt.Woodworking is text, and many that had participated
in ABPW dropped it when the big ISP's dropped usenet. Getting
eternal-september to carry ABPW should be easier than getting them to
carry ABPW, considering the low traffic compared to ABPO.

I assume you are still making yourself look dumb to somehow piss me
off... Keep up the good work, it really pisses me off when you look
dumb as a hunk of granite.

The reason ES doesn't carry binaries is due to the volume of data
contained in each binary message. They DO carry some binaries but limit
the size of the message to 512K. Considering the low traffic in ABPW,
and because the quality of the picture is not so important to a
woodworker as opposed to a photographer, it seems reasonable ES could be
talked into carring ABPW with it's limited input/output than something
like ABPO, which has high traffic and huge binaries. Of course, there
is not much reason they would carry it either, unless they happened to
be woodworkers as well as computer geeks.

Does that answer your ????? ?

And even cheaper, Teranews offers unlimited access for a one time fee
of $3.95. Download speed is capped, but for simple access and posting
of reasonably sized images, you can't go too far wrong for such a
small amount of money.
