OK guys, knock it off, please...

I refer you to point 8 of the Discussion Group ToS:
http://www.lugnet.com/admin/terms/agreement

8. (do not) Post non-plain-text content such as HTML, multi-part MIME messages,
or so-called “binaries” including but not limited to: images, sounds, multimedia
files, computer programs, and blocks of text created using binary-to-text
conversion utilities such as BinHex, uuencode, btoa, and PGP message encryptions
(short PGP signatures, however, are permitted by the server).

These encoded messages are clearly "non-plain-text content" and are not "short
PGP signatures" and therefore are against the ToS. Even in the test.foo group

You're SO lucky I don't have cancel power.
