Two words: Club Competition.

* If you belong to a big contest club, and you know many contest members 
are casually operating the contest and using packet, you might want to 
supply them with a healthy dose of spots. 

* You have club members who are in engaged in a M/S or M/M, and you want 
to feed them quality spots.

Two alternative reasons:

* You like to send out spots for your contest friends to help boost their 
scores.

* You feel altruistic and want to feed the cluster with quality spots, so 
perhaps the casual operators using the cluster might get more interested 
in contesting.
