Hey gang,

I'm sorry to be confrontational, but could we please ease up on the
hastiness in which we chastise folks for not searching the IMail
Archives?  Let's face it, the Archives' searching capabilities are
dismally inadequate, especially considering the sophistication of its
users and the heavy reliance we place on this resource.  Truth be told,
I have performed many searches on the IMail Archives that could not
isolate the required information for mere lack of granularity in search
criteria.  It can be quite infuriating.

Rather than slap wrists on a daily basis, let's recognize the demand
here and target the root of the problem.  If the Archives' searching
capabilities cannot be upgraded outright, then I must humbly recommend a
more robust discussion forum solution, like those employed by
Macromedia, at http://webforums.macromedia.com/coldfusion/ .  This is
only one example.  Many such solutions exist that provide improved
organization of discussions and, most importantly, advanced searching
facilities with exact-phrase matching and boolean logic.

My 2p.  I hope it is helpful.

Dave
