Hello Joe, Always good to hear from you.
Thanks for the compliment and support. I am somewhat of a student of new cultural paradigms so I am really enjoying Ami and the forum as great examples of the *new wave* of IT based virtual business cultures. Tomasz just went ahead and did it before the defintion made it's way into the history books. It's good fun being part of an historic wave ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~. Most of the time when I reply to a topic I start off by pointing to an answer or a possible answer. If the person in the chair is really keen and hardworking I sometimes will go to town on it for them and make additional posts. You can get the archive metrics with PG Offline that has been talked about in the forum a little bit in the past. Thomas Z can help if you have any questions about it. There are a few other users around as well. I have it on trial at the moment. Yahoo search is not too bad these days and I have managed to find quite a bit of useful info just by using it. It caps out at 5000 posts, which puts Tomasz out of the frame, but the advanced function allows year by year searches.
