Of cause it is that doesn't change the fact that the newsgroup server

you expect them to check each file and see if it a picture of my airplane or
a copy of "Top Gun"?

Plus with the number of free website and photo upload places it just doesn't
make since to have to have the photo of my airplane stored on each and every
news server when I can upload it to a web site and post a link.

Well, if a newsgroup provider can only turn on/off binaries as a group,
then that makes sense. My point was that images in rec groups would add
a negligible volume. However. if that means allowing all binaries on
all text-only groups then I agree, that's a bad idea.
