Is there not a possibility to let us help Steve in order to make the searching
easier , apart from WEB pages (not everybody can access these) or the creation
of an Alt-Proc book.
Organized just like the Archiv, but an Archiv for the different topics; one for
Gum, one for Albumen, one for General etc.; just collecting the incoming
messages on a file , with closed eyes. Just like the archive is done now, but
different ones according to the subjects, maintained by people of the list .
I would volonteer for Bromoil/oil matters and , due to the heavy load :-) ,
another topic like 'making negatives, including zonism etc.'
Would make life easier.By the way : all the messages according to bromoil I
saved from the beginning and a few month ago I started to do the same for the
Gum; I am sure there are more subscribers doing the same. This could be a start
already.
Forget it?
