Guest guest Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Ken: forgive me for not remembering you, but now that you jogged my memory, of course I know who you are (we now have a very large membership and it's hard to keep track of so many). We of course welcome help. Unfortunately, as with many organizations that need volunteers, many people offer to help and then " disappear " before the job is done. Please do come up with something better than our present very laborious way of searching for stuff. To spare the entire list why don't we take it offlist? If anyone else has ideas on making this a better site, please do e-mail me off list. on 2/17/2006 10:47 AM, Ken at kkal54@... wrote: At 09:22 PM 2/9/2006, Francesca Skelton wrote: >Ken: We can not make the files " searchable " .
