Has anybody thought about collecting a master list of the what subject headers are in which digest. What brought this to mind was someone just requested an e-mail address for MWC. I thought i had seen one but i didn't have it in any of the issues i had saved. I though about trying to get it from listserv@canada01, but i don't know which one to look for. This seems to be an interesting problem. There is an awful lot of information in those back issues. Perhaps, it would be better if some kind soul with some spare time (lots of it) could pour through the archives and extract the meat (sans flames, opinions, and religous wars) and compile a great resource. To tell the truth, I would be willing to pay a nominal fee to cover to get such an encapsulation. I'm not talking about a real money-maker, but if someone actually put together a book, i would buy it (given the price was reasonable). Does anybody have a simpler solution to this quandry. Something that would take less effort, but still have large social benefit. Its a real shame that so much good info is lost in the abyss. -chip -------------------------------------------------------------------- Chip Roberson ARPANET: csrobe@icase.arpa 1105 London Company Way BITNET: $csrobe@wmmvs.bitnet Williamsburg, VA 23185 UUCP: ...!seismo!gmu90x!wmcs!csrobe -------------------------------------------------------------------- "Where is John Andersen(son) when the world needs him?
