Searching the archives via the web interface is slow and you will often
get timed out. Instead, you can search by email!  It is really easy.  Here
is what to do:
send the search to listserv@gerry.vanagon.com with anything in the
subject. The body is important. Here is an example of what to do to search
for bumpers:
search bumpers in vanagon
end

the 'end' is so gerry know to ignore everything after that point (like
footers, signatures, etc).

Gerry will then send you back a responce with full instructions on what to
do next.

Good luck.
Cheers
