I'm seeing the term "G-Group" used now in Google. Originally at LEM it was "G-List", and then upon the transition to Google it became "g3-5- list" which continues in the footers and is the address I'm using to submit this posting.
I recently attempted to search the archives and it seems the name changes each have resulted in a disconnect between the older names and the newer name, so instead of a single archive (or multiple if you count the alternate archives to Google, such as www.mail-archive.com), we now have many disconnected archives. Thus, you'd need to know all the past names of the list, and search each one separately, or deal with searching EVERY Google mailing list. It seems like a mess. I don't know why there have been so many name changes, and I don't know any simple way to reintegrate the archives into a single continuous and unabridged version. I'd only suggest that a SINGLE name be selected, and that name should be homogeneous throughout all postings. The idea that a list called "G-Group" has addresses in the footers saying "g3-5-list" seems like a mess that needs permanent correction. If any of the list nannies or the list mom has time, it would be super to reintegrate all the archives into one searchable list, but that seems highly unlikely, and only likely to be doable if some Google Groups administrative genius understands the issues completely. The lesson for those starting mailing lists is to select a good name, and STICK WITH IT FOREVER. Otherwise, information is lost to the ether, and only a genius could reconstruct the past from the present or future. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
