I've been following this Bulletin Board for the last 8-9 years and
compiling the emails even if I wasn't actively reading them.  Work has  often
prevented me form remaining active in my hobby.  Although I have  not been good
about filing the posts into folders by subject, at least I had  everything
saved until yesterday.  I'm now in the midst of rebuilding a 20B  so over the
last month, I have been diligently spending all my spare time  sorting
through all the old emails and attempting to file them into  folders by subject
so that I don't have to ask questions online that have been  previously
discussed.  (That just irritates people!!!)  Then while  attempting to backup my
laptop and transfer the data to a new computer, the hard  drive crashed and
I've lost EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!  I'm basically totally  screwed without any
archive of information to fall back on.

This is a plea for HELP.........is there ANYONE out there with a
substantial archive of past emails from this list who can copy them and either  mail
a CD or email them in a ZIP file??  I will happily pay you for any  costs
and for your time!!!   Please contact me directly so I don't  clog up others
inbox with this!!

Thanks,
Don

If you don't mind downloading Thunderbird and importing 8 gig of emails
I can supply two DVD's with all email messages with pictures back to April 1998.
Thunderbird comes with a search engine and that is what I use. Search by key
word in the subject or body of the message.
