Dear Janet, This is a good point you make. but I am curious now. How do people find things in the archives? Are letters indexed on the subject field? Do people do a Boolean search on each word in the text? If we all know it can help.

However, in the long term, the other benefit - the Archives - may prove to be equally or possibly even more valuable. Since every message ever posted to the list is stored permanently in the archives, we have access to perhaps the most comprehensive one-stop-shop of Parkie information in the world. Accessible for searching by virtually anyone. As this resource keeps growing, who knows what correlation or 'eureka' coincidence might be noticed by a future searcher, whether in 6 weeks, 6 months, or 6 years. Posting a message to this list is like planting a seed. Janet from the garden in the ocean Janet Paterson - 48 - 7 - [log in to unmask] - Bermuda
