Actually, there is. Binaries should be posted to binaries groups, or better
still, uploaded to one of the miriad of free websites available and the URL
published.

And if you were one of the people with ISP's with download limits, you would
be cursing that someone posted a file that was approaching 1MB, representing
a large portion of your monthly limit.

Also, if you were one of the people dialling long distance (or the absurd $7
per hour for BigPond Rural Connect) you would be cursing because of the
extra few minutes (in phone charges) that it takes to download the file,
when it should not have been there in the first place.

And if you were one of the people who use news servers that strip binaries
from non-binaries groups, you would be wondering why there was nothing in
the file.
