We normally don't. Multipart binaries on newsgroups is inconsiderate
bandwidth hogging, causing delayed propagation and decreased retention
of real posts. Usenet was never designed for this use, but, like Unix,
was based on a community of cooperation and common goals. Thus, I would
think that most selfish uses with little regard for others as long as
they get THEIR pr0n would use Windows.
