<G> Wasn't saying you were wrong either, Bob... was just saying that
I've never seen any binary posts on a.b.f. there before either (and I
thought motz just didn't carry them) - but somehow several binary posts
were indeed there when I re-subscribed - I saw them myself. (e.g.
there's one from Big Jim in the "Chess anuone?" thread (his typo, not
mine <veg>), and a few other posts as well.)
FWIW, I haven't found a free news feed (yet) that carries all the
binaries; don't blame them - takes up a lot of bandwidth and/or server
space, which has to be paid for...
