Interestingly, we did discuss this at one point, when the list was not with Rootsweb, but with Listbot. The archives are still intact, and I have some of it zipped and available as individual html files. Anyone wanting to access the ones I have gotten into file form, go to http://www.cv.nrao.edu/~vsummers/myfiles/ and download the ones numbered: 1to100.zip etc. The particular emails that you seek may or may not be among these. Still, they are in the archives. Also, maybe somebody will bring it up again... Vince
