Besides the fact that this is not a very polite way of joining up , they also try to change a policy on our newsgroup, which has worked well for the last years. Binaries are two of the three reasons I participate, and occasionally submit. Maybe we need rules about the maximum length, but for those few binaries we see, we need neither a moderator nor a separate newsgroup. But watever your opinion is ,lets please not start to bash in heads. Sjouke. P.S. !placeit binary worked nice!
