They were not welcome when I first started out and back then, it was an
honest mistake. So unwelcome in fact, that I was really taken aback by
that.
I do post large amounts when I post and automation is much easier when
posting rars and nzbdindex.nl and binsearch.info index the post better
that way as well. Rars are not welcome in this group at all, so there's
another reason.
In addition to that, all my posts are connected with the https://abook.ws
forum and that gets another bunch or users all up in a fit and I get
accused of being after user IPs and email addresses, so I can fuck them
over and sell their email addresses to enrich myself and have something
to trade, should abook.ws ever get busted.
So I just post to a.b.mp3.abooks and because users of the forum kind of
expect it by now, i post them with an obfuscated header and a password
that's only available via the forum anymore.
You can find all my early posts via binsearch, even though they're not aax
rips. https://www.binsearch.info/?
server=2&max=250&g=alt.binaries.mp3.abooks&a=abook+%3Cupload%40abk.ws%
3E&min=6500
You can work your way through that, if you want.
