commander:

I am not asking what you think "usenet convention" is, I am saying it is more
than ok to uuencode binary and post it...

Show me an official document by a legal representative of usenet or go away...

It is against Usenet convention to post binary files to non-binary groups.
That is why binary groups were invented. Binary files are usually very large
should not be posted to regular news groups as these groups are archived
forever. The binary groups are purged ever so often, so it isn't prudent to
archive large binary files in regular newsgroups.

Similar to informal band plans, by gentlemen's agreements
no binary file posting on non binary file newsgroups.
"Binary" newsgroups are usually marked "alt.binaries.whatever"

Robert:

I am aware that it would be "tacky" to start hundreds of binaries flowing in
the group here.

However, a uuencoded/decoded binary of pics of an op, shack, equip, antenna,
object or place of interest, etc only enhances the newsgroup experience...

But don't even get the idea these old farts are fooling me, they couldn't
uuencode a binary and post it if their lives depended on it... and even if the
pic was a hot mama in a thong--they'd die before uudecoding/seeing the pic!

Do you see a pattern here, they can't do it (from lack of knowledge and
unwillingness to learn a new method), so they just attempt to stop everyone
else--now there is the real "state of amateur radio today!"

There is the problem, "gentlemen's agreement", but John is no gentleman,
kinda like on the Childrens Band where he fits in real well.

commander:

There is no "gentleman's agreement."

What you got there is some crafty old farts attempting to pull the wool over
peoples eyes with fancy "feel good terms" like "gentleman's agreement."

You are a cheap shot idiot!
Nothing angers me more quickly than a liar in sheep's clothing attempting to
make fools out of the people he attempts to "get over on"...
