Yes, we all do.  You could do even better by emailing the gentleman
privately and without being confrontational about it (explain the reason
and so on), but, given that we who monitor the newsgroup regularly already
"know the score", I see no reason to take up bandwidth on the newsgroup for
this.  As for the principle of it, I see this posting as rather large, yes
-- to say the least, and especailly for a newsgroup not specifically set up
for large graphics files -- but the size of even this file is a mighty
small price to pay for the beauty in it.

Nest time, before complaining about something like this, please rant and
rave at Bill Gates for the sloppy code in some of his products.
