Hey Listers-
I, for one, am very appreciative of what Mark has done for all of us. I
enjoyed meeting Mark at VTR this year. Without this list, many of us would be
without a close helping hand. Thanks Mark.
Perhaps it is time for all of us to send a donation to defray the time
expended and equipment dedicated to keeping us online.
Mark- what is your address?
Many thanks again-
Steve Thornton

With a bit of reluctance I'll announce that this list now has a searchable
web-based archive at http://listquest.com/goto/triumphs
So, if your internet service includes web capability, give it a try. This
list, and many others, should soon be available through links from the
main Listquest page.
The reason for the reluctance is that this is a commercial site. I do NOT
like having to wade through a bunch of advertising to get to useful info,
but so it goes. Not everyone can be like me and provide many hours of
service for no compensation. Well, maybe a little bit of compensation now
and again, wonder if a search for "rats + coffee" at the above site will
find the article I'm thinking about.
I was working on providing such a service here, but it was taking a long time
to get set up, and deal with various access issues. So I basically just
gave up and will let these folks do it for a while. Just another step in the
direction of having your computer be just like your TV, but without all those
annoying programs to interrupt the commercials.
It was nice to be able to just browse through the archives in monthly
chunks, without having to search for anything specific. A good way
for newcomers to get a feel for the flavor of the list, but we can live
without that feature. Who knows, maybe someday I'll get back to that
project. But for now, I'm more than busy enough with just the basic,
bare bones list administration stuff. If I did get a big batch of free
time, I might just use it to actually read some of these lists!
Anyway, try out the searchable archives, they should have all the triumphs
mail from the beginning, except for a small window between when I sent them
a copy of the archives and when the archiver subscription started. I'll send
them the missing messages RealSoonNow.
