Oh, you don't stand a chance against me, Eloise.  Sorry 'bout 
that.  ;-)

I'm just working from webview for now because the archives are more 
searchable, but the format is weird, IMHO.

How do you get these archives?  

Well, you ask Dicey.  That's what I did a few weeks back, and this 
is what she wrote off-list:

Click on Files (no messages) and get the 10,000-message zips.  They 
might take some time to download, but if you keep them on your hard 
drive, you'll always have them.

I, er, haven't had the courage to tell Dicey that I tried this and 
couldn't get it to work.  <wince>

Eloise:

>Wizards 

I think we should all use as potential key words things 
like "culture", "British", "social" and such.  I agree that 
classifying some of the more esoteric posts might be a challenge, so 
we'll want plenty of key words so they don't fall of the radar.  

So, just for instance, a post discussing the word "bagsied" would 
definitely take the Key Word "British."  ;-)

I just had my anniversary.  Let's see, let me take an inventory of 
all this cool loot!  We went to see the movie "Barbershop," we had 
middling sushi at the place that never seems to have any customers 
and so has quick service, and I got a new light blue running shirt, 
but the sleeves are a bit too long.

I should have asked for HTML.  That's one size fits all.  ;-)
