Der Corkmeister asked:>Please explain how I bring up these archivesNot sure if anyone replied directly to you Corky, but here's a general response. I get the digest version of this list (once a day, all messages in one post), and at the bottom of each digest is this list of helps on how to use all the list tools:> Post Message: pietenpol-list(at)matronics.com> UN/SUBSCRIBE: http://www.matronics.com/subscription> Photo Share: http://www.matronics.com/photoshare> Browse List: http://www.matronics.com/browselist/pietenpol-list> Search Engine: http://www.matronics.com/search> Archives: http://www.matronics.com/archives> List Specific: http://www.matronics.com/pietenpol-list> Other Lists: http://www.matronics.com/emaillists> Contributions: http://www.matronics.com/contribution> Matronics: http://www.matronics.com/For me, the most useful one is not the "archive" one (unless you have missed lots of the earlier posts and just want to read for a while, or want to go back a short period of time to retrieve a post you remember seeing), but the search engine. Go to the search page there, it will prompt you for a list to search (RV, Tailwind, Pietenpol, etc.) and a search keyword or phrase. For instance, I just went to the page and entered the keyword "dork" on the Piet list and found "zero" entries... which confirms what I already know- that folks here are exceptionally polite. I entered "brakes" and found 398 hits, and can proceed from there to have it show me who posted what, when, containing the word "brake" or "brakes". I usually go from the most recent posts and proceed down through subject lines or posts by a person that I think knows his stuff, and start reading. I did this with "jury struts", "wing incidence", lots of other stuff since I've been on this list. It works great.As a general comment, I spoke with William Wynne last weekend while he was still up in New Jersey with his family, about his Piet and the Pietenpollers as a group. He strongly confirmed what I have found out very quickly: this is a most pleasant, warm, supportive group with exceptional manners and a deep love for flying for the enjoyment of it. He has been to Brodhead and to other Piet functions and has found that everywhere he went... the Pietenpol seems to attract people of the best type, and that is a very good thing.Oscar ZunigaMedford, Oregonmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.netSend and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com________________________________________________________________________________
