Oh don't get me started on the inadequecies of the egroups
search mechanism!  Even if you know 3 out of 5 words used in
the name of the group that you want you usually just get a
big list of subjects and that's it!  Arrrgh!

I finally found this group when I pasted verbatim the name of
the group I was looking for (started by a friend of mine) into
the search engine.  It was the only way I could find it!

There has got to be a way to improve that thing!  :o)  If they
are not going to use Boolean expressions and qualifiers, then
they need to have some advanced search options of thier own
that you can pick, there are just too many groups out there
otherwise, you can't really find what you are looking for
without wading through an enormous amount of unrealated
sh*t.  IMO.
