Just a > suggestion, thanks, Nena Smothers > This can be useful to many, but the down side that I've read says that when you go to the archives to search, for example, GRASS, that every post with the word GRASS would come up. That would mean that if Nena has GRASS in her signature on every post, that post would come up whether there was any information on GRASS or not. I've chosen not to list all my names in my signature. I cannot dictate what others put on their signatures, but this is my own preference. On the other hand.........why don't we start a ROLL CALL and include the names we are searching?
