Having looked into so many programs in moderating garbo archives, I
can corroborate the concept that a significant portion of everything
is crap.  Yes, seriously.  The number of badly written programs,
weak or missing documentations, and useless on cryptic user
interfaces is unbounded.  It is not possible to check everything,
but I try to have some sort of a quality control on garbo, and not
accept disgrace-quality programs.  I highly appreciate the work that
Bill does, but I think that occasionally the c.b.i.p sieve leaks
noticeably.  With Bill's workload I understand.  This is an
observation, certainly not a flame.
