Ronn,

I'm not quite sure I understand your suggestion, or if I do it terrifies me.
:-)
Are you suggesting going through the messages and essentially summarizing
them in the subject?

Chip

Chip, 
Just a few suggestions to help organize the archives a little. Categorize
the archives with a heading like "MMC" or "Transformer" or "(S)RSG" etc.
This would help the search engine find particular information pertaining to
a subject, and the sub headings that exist now would be the threads the we
all know and love. I know this would be a chore to redo all the archives,
but it would eliminate unnecessary emails not related to the subject. I have
also noticed the same questions asked over and over again. It may be a good
idea to put a notice on the front page to check the archives first before
emailing the Tesla list. I've learned all needed to know about designing and
building transformers for power supplies, rewinding etc. , Tesla coil
design, tricks of the trade, caps, etc. There is a treasure trove of
information that can be gathered from the archives, if people would just
utilize it. 
(It would make you job a curator seem more worth while) 
 
Keep up the good work!!

Greetings all,

The rest of the June 2000, and all of July and August list archives are on
the web site (http://www.pupman-dot-com).  There may still be some glitches
with the searching, but last I checked, it was working more or less ok.  
Furthermore, the threading in the archives seems to be working, at least
for July and August.  This means that you can go to the archives for a
particular month and choose a subject line and follow it.  

Also, while it doesn't affect what list subscribers see, backups are being
done on a daily basis again.  

Currently on the agenda of things to do/finish:
Automate the daily archiving again
Rework web site (suggestions anyone?)
Remove "future" links from archives

Onward....
