For those of us technically challenged, what are "binaries" newsgroups and
how do they differ from rec.boats? Thanks.

That was my first thought, also.
The problem is that r.b.m. isn't a binaries group (i.e "pictures").
Depending on his ISP or news service, they might give him a hard time.
Some do, some don't.

"binaries" groups are groups in which binary files are attached to a post. Very
often the attachments are pictures, movies, songs, albums, etc.
"alt.binaries.pictures" is one such group. Now, I just looked up some names that
might be appropriate for your boat picture. It could be that this is a porno
group. But, you could probably still post your picture there.
