But Judy, that's exactly what I've had to do ever since I started looking for old posts over a year ago! It's not a new process for me. And since we're talking only about the previous 3 weeks, that makes it easier. Plus usually I remember the poster, and sometimes even a phrase.

One would have to remember the specifics of the post--approximate date, poster's name, and a word or phrase from the post--to search for it individually. (And that's if Search were working, which it does only sporadically.) Otherwise it would take many hours to turn up suitable posts. I strongly suspect Barry was well aware that he was asking the impossible and did so deliberately so he could crow and sneer about nobody being able to fulfill it. --- In [email protected], <[email protected]> wrote: turq, I don't think you're being very tantric about how FFL is changing. Sometimes life is not the way we want it to be. So what? Also, there have been way too many good posts during the past 3 weeks to list them here. I do hope you continue to post here but if not, then I wish you all the best. Finally, what's the point of focusing on something over which one has no control?! ________________________________ From: turquoiseb <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, September 3, 2013 7:50 AM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Reasons why Neo might be timely --- In [email protected], Steve Sundur <steve.sundur@...> wrote: > >> > Ahem.

What I guess I'm complaining about is that more often than not these days I make a full scan of posts on FFL in Message View and find nothing worth replying to. Since that is unlikely to change, you may be correct that it's "whining" to comment on it. I just thought I'd give people a chance to point to concrete EXAMPLES of what *they* consider good posts. So far, only one person has done so, and even that was mixed with ad hominem.
