In fact, of course, there IS a home page for the newsgroup, and I'd be
happy to deposit pre-formatted pages there for perusal.
If people want to provide PDF files, or a collection of HTML, I will
take on the responsibility of checking to ensure that it or they are
web-friendly, and then putting them up on the site with an appropriate
pointer in the newsgroup -- something like, "John Edser has made a PDF
version of this file
available at <URL>."<br />
<br />
I'm crusty enough to think that Usenet should stick to its guns as <br />
regards format for posting, and the old rule is, ascii text only (at <br />
least, in non-binaries groups). This also makes it easy for me to weed <br />
out the spam, since nearly all of it is MIME-encoded. When I see <br />
encoding, I ding it. I think making the group open to binaries requires <br />
a change to the charter making that explicit. A lot of work.<br />
