in my opinion this or any other such enhancement you could so
easily & gladly bring to bear would likely repay your effort many
times over

easily & gladly are the most operative words tho

over time i have noticed that the google search engine does
increasingly penetrate our archive

at first by surprise
then with more tries almost predictably
now maybe 10 percent or 1 percent anyway without fail it seems
& perhaps even better tomorrow

so our searchability may actually be constantly improving even
without our doing anything other than just having fun

but by all means i would say to you & everyone
please do go ahead & do whatever you like so as to improve
things
