*snarfle* You almost owed me a new monitor. I nearly sprayed my breakfast all over it. "Usenet has no attachments" -- that's like saying that the Web has no advertisements. Maybe the websites you visit have no advertisements, but there's a *vast* (and often disturbing) part of the WWW that has advertisements, some sites are nothing but advertisements. And so it is with Usenet, there is a vast (and often disturbing) area of Usenet containing attachments, and often nothing but attachments. The vast volume of all these attachments are such that it is getting hard to find ISPs that provide free access to binary newsgroups, but some still do, and dedicated for-fee Usenet providers do too. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
