Dear All, Some of you may have noticed that we now have many of our old messages from previous servers in our archives. I have worked on this for weeks and was helped by Diane Whitehead, Jennifer Hildebrand, Chris Carley, and Mark McDonough. It was a huge project. First I hadn't saved everything. Second some of the messages I had saved were not in a format that could be used (once again this had to do with how they were sent). And finally I had merged a lot of them and then had to try to figure out what tags I needed to separate them out. Mark sent me some old digests so I could search through then to get some of that data. Chris stripped out a lot of the html for me which was a huge help. He, Jennifer, and Diane took some of the messages and read through them trying to get them ready and sent them back to me. The end result isn't perfect. There is even a message listed from some date we weren't even in existence. That is no doubt one I merged and unmerged with the wrong date. Not all of our messages are there but hopefully most of the ones that you would want to refer to again are there. It appears that some of the messages you can only read by downloading them. Some of those are AOL messages or must have looked like attachments. I guess we just couldn't figure out what to do to them to make them acceptable. We did try. Perhaps in a week or two when I get reenergized I will get around to listing on the wiki our Topics of the Week by month so you will know which archive to find them in. Maybe by then the search engine at the top which I can't get to work will be working and this won't be so important. Many thanks to my helpers and I hope many of you will use these archives so we will feel our time was well spent. As we looked through some of these messages again we felt there was a lot of valuable information there. List-Archive: <http://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/pbslist/> Mary Sue PBS List Administrator
