My server does carry a limited selection of binaries groups, but I
don't concern myself with actually looking at them -- and I suspect if
I surveyed my users, none of them would admit to caring about the lack
of pr0n. I give most text-oriented groups a week; some get as much as
a month. (But I'm not sure how many regular users there are; the
service is not on my management's radar screen, thankfully, so long as
I don't spend any money on it. The hardware is currently six years
old. With modern disk drives, I could probably keep a year's worth of
text-only without trouble.)
