Just because a group has a title doesn't mean that's *all* that can be
discussed there. Just as discussions on a particular subject title wander
off course, so too can the subject matter itself.

If they want, yes.

None at all, though others will whinge at you about bandwidth and it not
being a binaries newsgroup.

There has been and is.

I'll bite.

I don't recall any such discussion.
