Fair enough. But where is the prohibition against posting a link to one's
pictures? What is your definition of the words "permitted" and "encouraged" in
the following quotation from the newsgroup's charter?

"Can we include photographs with our postings to r.p.d.slr-systems?

No. The charter of the newsgroup prohibits the attaching of photographs and
other attachments (usually referred to as binaries.) However, posting links to
photographs is permitted, even encouraged whenever discussion of a particular
problem or desired result are discussed."
