[Rhodes22-list] Archives

[Bill Effros]

Michael and I and others have been around this bush too many times.  We 
know what Michael says below is right.  People don't stay within 
threads, even when they try.  FAQs become dated.

Here is how to view our archives:

Go to the Google search box and type "rhodes22.org bilge" or 
"rhodes22.org loos" or rhodes22.org --"whatever topic you want to know 
about"  If the first 5 entries don't answer your questions, have Google 
repeat the search including all entries.  You will find in an instant 
everything we ever had to say about the topic.  View it in your email 
program and save the ones that are meaningful.  Subsequently use Google 
Desktop to find everything about bilge or loos or whatever that you 
culled from your broader search.

There is no need to reinvent the wheel, or this list.  The tools you 
seek to find the information you want already exist.
