Well, being norev on Searn doesn't mean you are norev on Peach or UGA,
at least that is what Nathan told me, so I'll stick with SEARN, from
which I have never gotten an "undeliverable" message unless my system was
totally shut down, nor a "submitted for approval" after Nathan had set my
new sub from a new address norev. I can get to SEARN when I cannot get to
PEACH and I don't get the hassles.

As to WWW searching, well, a dbase search on SEARN is much more to my
taste, thanks anyway. Something I've never figured out is why a list needs
a "web presence." Are there really that many people out there who aren't
interested if they can't point 'n click?  Even if it is a "professional
discussion group" and they can get the service nowhere else?
