<VV> RE: Finding and Searching our Archives on VV web

[Bryan Blackwell]

You're correct if you're looking for something you remember seeing - 
but since the subject line doesn't always match the contents, I'd 
suggest using the search box instead.  In many cases I find the subject 
line isn't quite what I was thinking of.  If you want to find something 
you don't remember ever seeing, then that's exactly what the search 
engine does, and it looks through everything.  Go to:
