Re: LM_NET ARCHIVES

Yes, however there are two items which make it harder (and less fun)
to search.

First, the whole archive is included in one search. If you want to
trace something throughout the archive, you can only do it if
everything is with the first 100 hits. If there is a way to limit by
year, either it's well hidden in the help.... or I missed it
completely. (excuse... it was late at night <grin>).

Second, the "Thread by Name" is not used in this archiving program.
It was helpful to thread by name as a quick search when I knew the
name of the poster and the approximate title. It was also useful for
finding the "posting" name of an LMNETTER, since many of us post from
home, where the name used is not the name of the person.

However, the searching and displays are much improved.

Hope everyone has a happy and healthful New Year.
