It could be one of those situations where the poster is using
autoposting software (that part is obvious in this case) *and* never
bothers to read anything in the group, not treating it as being also a
discussion group. That happens a lot in binaries groups in general.
It gets so ridiculous that the people who do that shit sometimes pass
messages back and forth in the groups by putting them in text files and
posting the text files as binaries. Talk about missing the point by a
mile ...
I guess these days we should just be thankful that it's not obfuscated.
In this case there is some on-topic stuff there, and some of what's
off-topic is also interesting to some people even though it's in the
wrong place.

It's no work to see what the set names & numbers are, at a glance,
if you just create a highlight filter in your newsreader. I have my
newsreader highlight with a color and move to the top of the list
(regardless of how the list is otherwise sorted) all "...001" files,
"...(1)" files, etc., using a regular expression. It works great.
That part is automatic for every group. Then I just select all of
those highlighted "picture #1" files at the top of the heap, download
'em all at once, glance at 'em one by one, delete the ones I don't
want, and make a note to download the sets for the ones I do want,
either now or later.
Therefore, I haven't killfiled him because I am snarfing lots of
goodies from his uploads. Now, if he never reads this because this
group isn't a discussion group as far as he's concerned, then he'll
never know that, which is probably a good thing. :-P
