I received the following message from Bob Pellegrino some time back.
It was evidently sent to all the people on his mailing list (the ones
to whom he sends his quarterly list.

Disclaimer:  I have no connection with Bob other than as a customer.
So please don't contact me if you have any questions.

As some of you may already know, my supplier for magazines has gone
out of business.  Actually, they apparantly went out of business in
April and neglected to let their agents know.  I was notified last
week.

What this means for us:

I am going to fill any remaining orders through a different agency.
In the meantime, I am not going to accept any new orders and any price
lists you may already have should not be used.

I am not going to accept new orders for 2 months.  This will give me time
to re-synch with another agency and streamline the software to speed up
processing time.

I am no longer going to be sending or receiving mail from this
account.  I will probably send out new information through the US mail
only.  If you would like to be kept on a US mailing list, please send
me your full address with a subject line of SEND HARDCOPY to
pellegrino@clt.enet.dec.com

NOTE:  This is the only way to ensure that you will be notified when the
       service returns.


Any magazine subscriptions that have already started are not affected
in any way.

Any orders that have not been processed will be processed through
another source.

I'm sorry if this inconveniences anyone, and I thank you for your
patience.  I think the supplier transition is a good time for me to
reorganize my ordering procedures and move some mail load off of my
work account.  If you have enjoyed my service in the past, be sure to
send me your US mail address.  Feel free to include a testimonial, if
you feel one is warranted :-) I just may use it when I ramp up again!

It has been a real pleasure bringing you all your magazines at a great
discount.  I look forward to serving all of you in the future.  See
you in a couple of months!
