Lon--I read your response and felt like I was looking in the rearview
mirror. The only significant difference--I was saving so many messages
that I finally succumbed to referring myself to the archives, searching by
month.
So Rick--any chance of a search engine like the kind Michael Lissack has
on the complex-list? Not whining--just asking!
[Host's Note: Sorry, I'd be interested, but haven't been able to organize
it. If anyone knows about how to rig-up a search engine on our archives,
please write me. ...Rick]
