Just checked and they are still there on the

There is no such thing as "the alt.binaries.pictures.aviation site". Each
individual news server carries or doesn't carry usenet newsgroups for as
long as they want, so while they may still be on the server you're looking
at, they may have already expired from the server "Morgans" is looking at.

The news servers I run don't carry alt.binaries at all, because the
terabytes of data involved are too expensive for the non-profits I do it
for.

No kidding, I do believe that everyone understands that and knows what
we were talking about.


Actually what you stated is a common misconception. I honestly
thought you didn't understand how usenet worked. This is not a dig,
rather an observation due to the terminology used. I thought Paul did
a good job of explaining the architecture of NNTP.
