I'd prefer it if folks would read the headers and
realize that the article was posted to both Aus.* newsgroups
as well as non-Aus.* newsgroups.

Here.  Does it help if we copy the list to the body:

Newsgroups: alt.comp.sys.palmtops.pilot,aus.ads.forsale,aus.ads.forsale.computers.used,comp.sys.palmtops,comp.sys.palmtops.pilot

Arguably, the advertisement might not be appropriate in
the three non-aus.* newsgroups anyway.

Anyway, if something is being posted to comp.sys.* or
alt.comp.sys.*, and a price is listed in $, it is a
reasonably fair assumption that it means US Dollars,
though since $ is a common sign for many currencies, it
ought to be made more explicit.

--D (who was trying really hard not to mention MCI Worldcom
     having recently purchased OzEmail...)
