You almost owed me a new monitor. I nearly sprayed my breakfast all over 
it.

"Usenet has no attachments" -- that's like saying that the Web has no 
advertisements. Maybe the websites you visit have no advertisements, but 
there's a *vast* (and often disturbing) part of the WWW that has 
advertisements, some sites are nothing but advertisements.

And so it is with Usenet, there is a vast (and often disturbing) area of 
Usenet containing attachments, and often nothing but attachments. The 
vast volume of all these attachments are such that it is getting hard to 
find ISPs that provide free access to binary newsgroups, but some still 
do, and dedicated for-fee Usenet providers do too.
