I don't get it.
Why not just link to the original post here? Surely everyone who uses usenet also has regular web access? Why go to the extra trouble of reposting the file somewhere else?
And the ... persons ... who converted them back to RTF .... Now that's just plain
dumb. 
Of course, there is a bit of irony in all of this ... I guess there are folks who will 'steal' (in the sense of taking and not giving credit) even
free stuff.
