Re: [asa] how do you search recent list archives?

Thanks, Dave & Dave.

David C., I would be happy to add you to my friends list in facebook,
but a simple facebook search didn't turn up your name (not that I
really know what I'm doing in facebook, yet.) I only have a presence
there because my wife drug me, kicking and screaming, into it. I'm one
of those stick-in-the-mud email persons you were talking about. But
anything that helps facilitate robust searching of such a mountain of
text, I will come around for one way or another.
