It is possible for someone to respond to that article, with another posting using the same heading. More and more people pipe in with their opinions on James Taylor using the same heading. News groups can also be accessed from most World Wide Web browsers, such as Netsape. They allow you to choose which newsgroups you wish to view often by creating lists of 'subscribed' groups. They also allow you to post articles, respond to articles and extract binary attachments from newsgroups.
Binary attachments are non-text files, such as programs or images, that are posted to news groups.
They allow people to distribute non-text information to anyone who has access to the newsgroup. For example, using the group alt.binaries.games a person could post a game that he or she had written for people to extract and run on their computers. Both Free Agent and Newswatcher allow users to extract binaries from newsgroup articles to files on their computers over a PPP connection.
