I have all 14 parts on my spool dated 1 Mar, with all sorts of paths from
bctel.net onwards (direct.ca, MCI, Sprint, BBNPlanet, btnet, gsl.net, demon,
you name it).
You can't be exceeding the BI if you're posting frequency is >45 days
anyway. With 7 groups, you could post weekly and still be under the
threshold. (Though pushing the limit isn't advisable because some
filters may impose limits less than BI=20).
