    I guess it is my fault.
    I asked for adding alt.binaries.pictures.misc and that triggered a
    reaction.

    Ray Banana answered that alt.fan.rush-limbaugh is not a binary group.
    His reaction about removing binary groups had nothing to do with it.
    So it was not my fault after all.

    That's surprising, the response that is. Ray has memory misfires
    when he's trying to code and deletes tens of thousands of legitimate
    posts never to be seen again.

    99.9999% of current usenet activity is troll farm, particularly busy newsgroups
    are probably 100% troll farm (most especially politics and religion ad nauseam)

    serious usenet subscribers (non-robot contributors, lurkers, researchers, etc.)
    use at least several reliable servers with good retention such as listed below . . .

    Who knows. There are only three, maybe four legacy trolls left in
    a.f.r-l who would complain anyway. It's only affecting Ray's trainwreck
    of a news service. I used to use E-S but it's missing so many posts
    that are on other servers there's no point in keeping an account there.

    Does Ray announce his intentions for anything? If he says everything is
    in order over at E-S, wait a couple days for the next failure or
    stoppage to occur. In the meantime, the chronic TDS trolls who sucked
    him in are laughing and pointing fingers.

    Like that's going to solve anything. Ray is just dropping his pants for
    the Limbaugh/Trump-hating nutjob netkops who have been infesting the group
    for years. They hate it because they get their chops busted with facts
    when they spew their TDS vitriol.
