Aspel Tapetree: Last Call

[Peter Byrne Manchester <PMANCHESTER@ccmail.sunysb.edu>]

       WHEREAS:
(a) several of the Seven <now eight> Samurai tapetree topdubs have set special 
time aside this week, or have made special arrangements about equipment; 
(b) our copying capacity as a group is already nearly saturated; and 
(c) Katemas is followed all too quickly by August, which is leaned on by 
September, toward which many of us have responsibilities we ought to have 
started on yesterday;  
       I REGRETFULLY ANNOUNCE that the Aspel Tapetree as presently constituted 
_closes_ on Katemas, Friday, July 30, 1993.  As a practical matter, this means 
that anyone who wishes to receive a copy from one of the following needs to 
have contacted that individual, received confirmation he or she can take on 
additional copies and been given the postal address, in time to put their 
blank tape and stamped addressed return mailer in the mail by last dispatch 
_Wednesday, July 28_.

        This does _not_ of course mean that the tapetree material goes out of 
circulation.  It means that additional circulation must take place as a new 
generation of the tapetree.  There will be at least 50 first-generation dubs 
from the sub-master-level in circulation among love-hounds by next week, so it 
should not be hard for latecomers to find folks willing and able to help the 
tree continue to exfoliate.

        Meantime, thanks to Ken Hoyme for joining the Samurai in time to help 
boost our capacity to make stereo copies.  As of this writing, those who are 
already saturated and can take no additional copy requests are noted below.
