Subject: Reducing my free services
To: Garbo users

Dear Garbo Users,

The net has become an increasingly unrewarding place to give away
one's free services.  I have consequently unsubscribed most UseNet
newsgroups.  I am also rationing my individualized email responsed
in order to devote more time to my other activities.  I have been
putting much too much effort to giving help on the net compared to
the response one gets there in these days.  Please enjoy the wealth
material and information that is readily available on Garbo MsDos
FTP archives using your own initiative.

If you still wish to continue to know about my Garbo upload
announcements please see the information below.  It has been taken
from one of my absurd FAQs.  This one is an edited version from
garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/pd2/cbipafaq.zip. 

All the best, Timo

 Q: How can I continue to receive SIMTEL20 and Garbo announcements?

 A1: The Garbo upload announcements are suspended in CBIP.archives
since Sun 27-Sep-92.  They will not continue in comp.lang.pascal
either.  They are awaiting a moderated comp.archives.msdos.announce
and its non-moderated comp.archives.msdos.d discussion newsgroup to
replace the functions of cbip.archives.  See the item on "The
official Request For Discussion to replace CBIP.archives" at the end
of this FAQ for more details.  If you are interested in the recent
Garbo uploads in the meanwhile, please see the following files:
  /pc/_files.in         (The current month's raw upload list)
  /pc/pd2/news-pd2      (Selected, annotated upload announcements)
  /pc/ts/0news-ts       (All, detailed TS-upload announcements)
  /pc/pd2/infolist.txt  (On a mailing list for _contributing_ users)

 A2: SIMTEL20 announcements were put on hold Tue 29-Sep-92 for the
same reason.  The chain of events that led to this state of affairs
is recorded in garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/pd2/post11.zip.  You can continue
to get SIMTEL20 and Garbo announcements by subscribing to Keith
Petersen's one-way mailing list.  Here is the information:
   Announcing msdos-ann@TACOM-EMH1.Army.Mil, a ONE-WAY (moderated)
mailing list which is used by the Internet MS-DOS archive managers
to announce new additions to their collections.
   To add yourself to the mailing list send e-mail to
listserv@TACOM-EMH1.Army.Mil with this command in the body of the
message:
  subscribe msdos-ann
Please do not include a signature because it may confuse the server.
Send mail with the word help in the body of the message to get a
complete list of commands and their syntax.
   This server is only for mailing lists.  It will not send files.
   If you later change your mind and wish to unsubscribe, send e-mail
from the same address where you were when you subscribed.  Send to
listserv@TACOM-EMH1.Army.Mil with this command in the body of the
