i never said it would.
i had mentioned the tforge.tar.gz in a previous posting and thought i
inform the list that there were problems with the tforge.tar.gz archive.

yet another example of "no good deed shall be allowed to go unpunished."

the purpose of theforge searchable archives is to allow anyone who wants
to to be able to search said archives.

who is knashing their teeth and rending their clothes over the missing
archives? 

since you seem to be knowledgable as to what posts are missing would you be
so kind as to enlighten the rest of us mere mortals.

if you do not like theforge searchable archives do not use it. it is
that simple. no one is going to force you to use it.
