The sump gasket thread brought up a couple of issues. First off, I am not 
sure why some addresses, usually AOL based, send out two copies of a reply to 
the list. Don't know if it some bogus setting, operator error, bad software or 
what. Certainly not a big deal.


Secondly:

"I just did this a couple months ago and asked the same question, perhaps the 
thread will be in the archives."

I discovered a while back there is a problem with the search function of the 
archives.  Messages are indeed getting added to the archives [ link below for 
real time, near top for digest ] but the search function apparently quit adding 
new messages to the database some years ago.  This is, at least to me, a 
serious problem.  The Team Net email archives are an incredible source of 
information collected over the decades, I would like them to be as useful as 
possible.  Broken searching is not useful.

Maybe when I retire in a while I'll have more time to wade through the twisty 
little maze of old. unsupported, outdated software that is behind the archives, 
figure out the problem and get things to where they should be.  I'll poke 
around some before then, not sure how long it may take.

I'm not getting any younger, will be hitting 66 years old in a couple weeks, 
Team Net will be 29 on the same day, so retirement may be just around the 
corner.  We shall see.

But at least for now I will make sure the basic list functions keep on keepin' 
on, as more folks are sitting at home looking for ways to entertain, amuse and 
educate themselves.

Stay healthy, friends.

mjb.
