Just wanted to mention that the Navigation list archive has been extensively, though not completely, indexed by google for searching. There's now a search box right on the main page here: www.fer3.com/arc This archive displays current messages almost as quickly as they distribute to the list by email, and it includes most of the messages sent during the past nine or ten years on earlier incarnations of the navigation list. Try searching on "lunars" or "Bowditch", for example, to see how many messages cover these topics. The googlebots come and go as they please, so there's no way to guarantee a complete search of this archive, and it is still easy to find examples of messages that have not yet been indexed. I still intend to add a proper local search starting next month. PLEASE NOTE: if you're a list lurker and you've been following NavList messages by visiting the googlegroups page, the archive on fer3.com is superior in most respects: --Formatted messages display correctly. --There are no ads. --The messages load faster. --And of course, it covers a much longer stretch of time. Thanks go to Dan Allen for maintaining a giant bulk archive of messages for his many years on the list. That was the basis for the historical portion of the NavList archive on fer3.com. By the way, I'm sorry I haven't been able to participate in the list discussions much in the past six weeks. I'm very busy finishing up a MacOSX edition of the Centennia Historical Atlas. It should be "done" in less than two weeks. After that, I'll be posting more often. -FER 42.0N 87.7W, or 41.4N 72.1W. www.HistoricalAtlas.com/lunars --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to NavList@fer3.com To , send email to NavList-@fer3.com -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
