Keith,

Please don't discontinue your announcements (unless they are time consuming
for you).  I certainly don't find them offensive.  SIMTEL20 has a lot of
software that doesn't come through cbibmpc.  Also, SIMTEL20 has, for me, a lot
of software that is not easily available elsewhere.  I find it quite handy to
know what has been uploaded recently.  Keep up the good work.

Dave Kruger
