[TheForge] searchable theforge archive revisited

[Frederick Faller]

Sounds like a better plan than mine. I had all the
archives from when the forge started to when we went
to qth.net. I will have to find them and I have a
sinking feeling on first check that I may have
jetisoned them in a major cleanup I had to do when my
computer got taken out with viruses last spring. I
will let you know.
