Telling people do things *your* way just so you can post what you want 
seems a little...arrogant. Sorry.

It is a binaries newsgroup so people can post images. People post images 
so they can recieve help, show certain techniques they have developed, 
occasionally demonstrate bug reports, or show their work. Again quoting 
from two of the official announcements in p.a.f-a-q:

"*Images Group
  If you want opinions on an image you are working on we have a binaries
image group where you can post an image for critique and get suggestions
from other POV-Ray users. This is one of our most popular groups.
[please read the announcement on posting guidelines for this group]"

and:

"First we would like to remind all of our visitors that this news
server exists first and foremost to offer online support for the
users of POV-Ray. We do this by allowing peer support between users
of the program,  sometimes through direct support from POV-Team
members themselves, or by way of the POV-Ray Technical Assistance
Group. Any other use of this news server is secondary to this goal."
