Posts from those who don't know or don't care that they
shouldn't be crossposting between a text group and a
discussion group so far this month:* (less than 3 days): 30
*This is harmful because most news servers have different retention
times and posting rules for the two types of newsgroup. Text groups
get a lot longer retention, so crossposting to a binary group makes
the post disapear a lot sooner on many servers. Binaries are allowed
in binary groups but not text groups, and some servers simply drop any
such post into the bit bucket, while others do so only if it's a binary.
