RE: ADMIN: RE: Diminished mail

["Gary H." <62to65mopar@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Paul & Dodger. 

Hard-to-find archived material and poor site indexing are just two more 
examples of diminished service. The 62-65 List archives are there but 
the Topica search engine used does not "look" at the last two or three 
years of mail! You need to browse manually. :(

I need to talk to a programmer friend of mine to see if a script can be 
written to capture the old mails. We'll see.

Gary would it be possible for the members to all download a floppy in 
some
sort of continuation to get it all coppied , and then send them to you 
some
way to reorganize back into a new site, I am sure that if something like 
this
is possible that most members would be glad to help out

Please address private mail -- mail of interest to only one person -- directly to that person.  I.e., send parts/car transactions and negotiations as well as other personal messages only to the intended recipient, not to the Clubhouse public address. This practice will protect your privacy, reduce the total volume of mail and fine tune the content signal to Mopar topic.  Thanks!
