snip/ You're absolutely right that lots of folks don't bother to search the archives, in part because they're _email_ based and, so, not as easy to use. The easier it is to find the info, the more likely people will use it. /snip If I may inform those who don't know.... anyone can search the archives (listmember or not) via the webpage search, here's the link: http://gerry.vanagon.com/archives/vanagon.html on this page, click "search the archives" and you will get another page for your input, that is what you want to search for. Since the server upgrade, this method of search is quite fast listing the e-mail messages that pertain to your search criteria by subject (important to get the subject line accurate) and then one can click into any message for more info. I find this method as efficient as the e-mail search and can be done on any machine with www access and a browser. JB '89 Wolfsburgs |
