Binary posts do not belong in unmoderated discussion groups.

I run a program that searchs for, and issues advisory cancels for,
large binaries in the akr, biz, comp, misc, news, rec, and sci
hierarchies.

I have issued 21 advisory cancels for large binary files or parts
thereof (total size 3,607,635 characters) posted to 9 different
unmoderated discussion groups in the misc, comp, and rec hierarchies
as follows:
   6 comp.os.msdos.djgpp
   5 comp.sys.ibm.pc.soundcard.misc
   4 rec.pets.dogs.breeds
   1 rec.arts.comics.dc.universe
   1 misc.test
   1 misc.invest.stocks
   1 misc.invest
   1 comp.lang.perl.misc
   1 comp.graphics.animation

This pointer is being posted to each affected group listed above,
with the exception of test groups.  Follow-ups are directed to
news.admin.net-abuse.misc.

If you want to see exactly which file was deleted from a particular
group, read the full report in news.admin.net-abuse.announce.  The
full report can also be found in alt.nocem.misc and alt.retromod.
Look for AR310 in the subject, or, if your reader supports it, use
this URL: news:ARMM-Report-310 AT redpoll DOT mrfs DOT oh DOT us

The criteria used to search for this batch of large binaries were:
   NEWSGROUPS: Unmoderated akr, biz, comp, misc, news, rec, or sci
	       (except for comp.binaries.apple2, comp.bugs.2bsd,
		and rec.games.bolo)
   BINARY: base64, binhex, uuencode, and xbtoa encoded files, etc.
   SIZE: > 100,000 characters [(size * (# of parts - .5)), if multi-part]

If you must post a binary to Usenet, please post it *only* to an
appropriate binaries newsgroup such as alt.binaries.misc, and do *not*
crosspost it to non-binaries groups.  This permits news administrators
and users to decide for themselves whether to receive binary files.

Please direct public feedback to news.admin.net-abuse.misc and private
feedback to red AT redpoll DOT mrfs DOT oh DOT us.  Thanks.

Best wishes,
Dick
