The one : problem with a.b.p.a is that it has low propogation, so few people see it.

The reasons are that (1) the percentage of binary : postings are low, and (2) most of us do not make a distinction to exclude : binaries as long as they are appropriate to what we are doing here. All binaries and animations should be uuencoded - irrespective of where they are posted otherwise things get munged at many access sites.
