Flat take it all off the "web?" Searching by enail only? Notebooks would probably have to be "private." I have never been able to web search the archives of any list with archives that exceed about two months. I always get timed out before the search is finished (that's the web system that times me out, not my system). Searches by email *work* every time, and they have for, in my personal experience, over eight years. I would far rather send in my search by email and go on about my business than twiddle my thumbs for five or more minutes for the web searcher to tell me the search has been canceled because it is taking too long. I can't imagine any instance where I would willingly turn my lists' archvies over to someone else. Douglas
