Re: OT : Better way to search Groups archives

Martin / Andre,

I tried searching on Google and it fetches results from Usenet & Borland's
NG. It is better to rely on one group for topics. I believe, there are soo
many NG's out there that must be catering to my search criteria. But i was
keen on searching in this group itself, since i remember discussing about
it.

Well, if the moderator is reading this, may we suggest them after
considering any drawbacks for "Public"izing this group viz junk mail &
spammers.

This group has an extensive coverage of topics. And often (almost 75%)
questions are already addressed by someone. Its only fair that we suggest
new users to first fetch through archives and if not satisfied with
discussion, then post their query on the group. So we have some ligitimate
topics and subject lines.

Warm regards,
Jatin N. Bhoir
