Yep...but we could learn easier and better.  The only thing definative
I've ever found in 10 minutes or under is my email address.

Seems to me it's really not efficient to wade through mis-threaded

populate the list with hundreds of messages that said nothing more than "I
don't understand(pick a topic).
