What kind of NG is this? I never see anything posted there. Thanks Give up on posting woodworking photos on usenet. Better format and image viewing on web based forums. Several for woodworking, do a Google or MSN search for: woodworking forums. Many hobby woodworking magazines sponsor web based forums. Web based forums are mostly moderated to ban politics, gross / sexist jokes, and links to porn sites. Others can recommend their favorite web based forums. |

Abpw is still there and going strong. I got an astraweb subscription (Pay By Download 25GB, $10, paid on June 10). I still have over 24 GB available today (goes to show how ittle is used when daily going to just a few newsgroups that were canned by Verizon). It's well worth the $10 to stay abreast. -- Best regards Han email address is invalid |

There are many subscribers who can not get ABPW through their ISP and most of those won't change ISPs nor get a separate subscription. More ISPs are dropping binaries. Posts will certainly decrease because fewer users will have access. I no longer post nor get binaries in newsgroups, but visiting more blogs and picture websites instead. Who needs an additional expense? $120 a year is just not worth it, at least that will buy me two months of gasoline. |

I paid $10 for the privilege of downloading 25GB (does not include headers). There is no expiration date that I know of. Since June 10 (3 month worth of access) I have used less than 1 of those 25 GB. At that rate I will have used up the 25 GB in about 6 years, at less than $0.15 per month. -- Best regards Han email address is invalid |

Personally I never much liked using USENET for binaries. Very clumsy solution. Flickr is free, retention is "as long as flickr stays in business", posting a photo automatically creates thumbnails in several sizes (very handy for those who don't have broadband--they can get a look and decide whether it's something they want _before_ they download the whole monstrous thing), there's only a single image format to deal with, the images are linkable, so one can include a direct link in one's post rather than having to say "check APBW", you can include keywords and titles, and whatnot and organize your images by named sets, with all that, why dink around with a binaries newsgroup? And I'm not saying that because I don't get binaries, I've been using Newsguy for years and Newguy most assuredly carries binaries (furthermore, they upgraded their server capacity considerably a couple of days ago). -- -- --John to email, dial "usenet" and validate (was jclarke at eye bee em dot net) |

Both have their place. If you have a ten photo "how-to" then a web based gallery is ideal. If ten people have one photo each, I can easily look at the subjects on the newsgroup and look at what is of interest to me. Faster than following ten links to ten web pages. |

Sort of like apples and oranges, IMHO.. mac Please remove splinters before emailing |
