Forehead Slappers

Diapers.

How do you get to ABPW?

Turn left at greenland?

Sorry. It's alt.binaries.pictures.woodworking, but not all newsservers carry it.

Try this: news:alt.binaries.pictures.woodworking If it doesn't work, your server doesn't carry it. Dave in Fairfax

To use to wipe stain or as a source for stain?

Here's a good forehead slapper for you (me):

what does this surely ingenuous device do?

Oh, you meant for woodworking!

Never mind. Bob

Ahhh! You guys are finally catching on to the actual -source- of RBS, are you? This is very good!

Apparently you haven't first hand (excuse the expression) experience with this stuff. It's the source of BSY. It doesn't turn RBS until they're on solid food.

No, I'm a solid, upstanding, 52 year old, _confirmed_ bachelor. Though I've had girlfriends with kids that age, I played dumb.

Which is 99.9% of all news servers left on Earth, including both of the ones I use.

Someone pointed me at:

It appears, here,

It will show next Tuesday, I think.

Oh. I missed that. That explains why the pictures all seem to pertain to things I read about last week, doesn't it? :)

You can also view the group via:

It's got a decent archive and search capability.

I'm sorry that the link doesn't work for you and that your ISP doesn't carry the NG, but I've NEVER had an ISP that didn't carry the APB groups. I've benn doing this for a while, so 99.9% seems like an unlikely amount of servers to not carry them. ATT carries the NGs if someone needs an ISP that is everywhere and DOES carry the NGs. Just a member, no financial considerations. Dave in Fairfax

ISP or USP news servers tend to carry alt.binaries.* groups, but don't forget the medium or large businesses that run their own usenet servers. These usually block all binaries for volume/pr0n reasons, and many block alt.* entirely.

Two of my USPs offer non-binaries feeds. One (Gradwell) only does text feeds. Supernews, my main feed, charges a different price for binaries or non-binaries. As Usenet is now just a minority interest, it's some years since I saw an ISP feed that wasn't poorly-supported rubbish. If they "carry" a binaries group, it may only have a retention time of milliseconds.

Never thought I'd reflect on two Unix geeks with a large pipe (read ISP) as being the "good old days".

I've been doing it for awhile too, both at home and for other people. Since
