No! Dejanews never "ran" AGR. This is a USENET newsgroup, and NOBODY
owns usenet. Dejanews merely aquired a huge archive of Usenet messages
and built a website around them, and Google bought them out. Google
groups is a convenient way to access usenet, but it is by no means the
only way.

Usenet is older than the "web", and doesn't even need the internet to

work. Usenet is open and free, which is why I like it. No one entity
can control it.

Also, binaries CAN be posted here. A "binary group" is simply a group
that focuses on binaries, but binaries can be posted in any newsgroup
-- even though Google won't carry the message.

I sure as hell don't want to see this group turn into another
