  I assume you don't remember or understand why we have source and
binary groups. There are several reasons:

  1. So people who want source and binary can find things
  2. So people who don't can avoid huge postings
  3. So postings can be archived
  4. So sites which have limited feeds don't get swamped in those
	huge postings.
  5. So the volume can be regulated and not come all at once

  There are several reasons for posting source/binary to this group:

  1. Nobody told you and you didn't read new.users
  2. You're too dumb to understand
  3. You're an arrogant jerk

  Why not post your stuff in the right group and save yourself the
flames. We don't care if you want to hear it or not.
