Thanks Jenny - those are helpful
Gentle spiders - I "heard" the original "lurker's complaint as a cry
for help in finding the archives and it occurs to me that it would be
easier for newbies & others who don't already have the archive webpage
bookmarked if the url for the arachne archive was in the "signature"
majordomo adds to the bottom of all messages to the list (like the
arachne flicker page address already is - you will be able to see that
link below), so we could could go straight to the archive and search for
the original message/topic within that rather than searching the whole web.
(Jenny's hints on focusing the search could be applied almost verbatim
to a search within the archives when there is not a
thoughtfully-provided search term from Jeri to guide the seeker)
Of course, understanding the search results and finding the "needle" of
advice we need in the "haystack" of past discussions can still be a
problem for any of us, particularly if our research time or background
knowledge of the topic is limited - sometimes a short, non-scholarly
answer may be more practical use to the individual questioner than a
scholarly article which he/she may not be ready for, but Jeri's
knowledge will still be invaluable to the lacemaking community as a
whole. The list needs both answers.
