with a long memory) first, you should look through the thread INCLUDING
THE DATE OF THE INITIAL POST!!!!!!! and know what's already been said.
Maybe we should lobby Google to limit the age of posts shown in a
search to a few months unless the searcher specifies a larger age limit.
Mind you, their search feature is apparently slowly getting less and
less usable as time goes by, so maybe this will happen automatically.
