I think that the main reason that this newsgroup (as well as many

Alt.binaries.pictures.woodworking can be used, referenced from here, but
it seems a lot of ISPs are now blocking binary groups.

I'm OK personally because I use a small, admittedly more expensive than
many, independant ISP, whose owner listens to his customers and gets his
feed from Giganews.


I'm aware of that group but it's extra hassle to come here and then have
to follow links to images over there when I can go to a forum and see a
message with embedded images.

My ISP does carry the group but I've never bothered to subscribe - it's
mostly none turning and I'm mainly interested in turning.
