Only 200 or so of those users have paid accounts, the other get
4 hours per month at the most. We have many telnet / x25 users
(approximately 1/3rd) from Australia and overseas. So our user : dialin
ratio is quite acceptable.

Its not spam. Its a cross post. Further, its *way* under the 20 news group
limit for cross-posting. All the groups selected are wholely appropriate vs the 
content. At least get your facts straight before annoy people.
