Richard, I was half way through writing another email to explain where I was at. You nailed the situation down with this one. I had missed the in obvious and replaced LINK with DIR - must have stopped thinking for a little. Since then, I had blow it away, and correctly configured it.

For searching, I personally use the list archives found at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/ rather than the one at python.org. The searches are fast, and there are actually several technical lists there that I read/search (bind, dhcp). It's all database driven...probably a lot more than you'd want
