This is one of the "advantages" of the gateway to the newsgroups. Posting
large binaries is common in newsgroups; someone mentions some game or
application, someone else says something about "haven't run/played that in a
long time; wish I still had it", and boom!, the binary appears on the wire.
Be careful about "coming down" on people for "doing what comes naturally" in
the Usenet environment, even if it is unexpected in the mailing-list world.
