Some of the state (cough, New York, cough) AG's in the US of A decided
about a year ago that binary newsgroups were Evil Incarnate and
pressured the major US ISPs to drop them For the Children's Sake
Because There Are Millions of Predators Online AND I NEED TO BE
REELECTED GODDAMIT.

Will NOBODY think of the CHILDREN?

So you're left with those of us who live in countries whose politicos
have found that ****ing bandwagon yet, or people who are clueful
enought to tell the spineless ISPs to go **** themselves, and moved to
new providers.

But this is not a binary newsgroup.
