You think that's a problem?  We were just suckered into creating an
entire newsgroup (comp.lang.sigplan) so that ACM/SIGPLAN could
advertise their (for pay) seminars.  An entire newsgroup so that one
small faction of the usenet community could make money.  And they have
the gall to moderate it, and refuse access to anyone that doesn't kick
into their kitty.
