Because I didn't feel like uploading 5,100 jpg files. I posted an
intent to flood notice. If you prefer jpgs, go out an fine these
files.


It is a long time since I read a binary group's charter, but IIRC, it is
customary to restrict floods to 250 posts per group per day. I have over 8,300
headers from you in the space of a day. Some are reposts, e.g. part 31 was
posted twice -- 17 seconds apart, from the header information.

I am glad Giganews does not count headers in the bandwidth I buy.

lol that wasn't a flood it was a "tsunami".

I think the dude just wasted our and his time posting something that no
one will bother to download.

My question is: What was the big hurry? No one was "waiting" to have
this posted in whole. A flood of a few hundred a day or every few days
would have been enough.

Damn shame, I would have looked if the post was "reasonable".
