<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt; &gt; here is what the animaniacs have to say<br/>
&gt; And a link to a distant file is fine, assuming we have a website to <br/>
&gt; put our files on - me, I have no inclination to become the Web&#39;s <br/>
&gt; 205,317,650th tedious personal website. (No offence intended, of <br/>
&gt; course, to all those BPer&#39;s who maintain *interesting* sites!)<br/>
&gt; But this link of yours is now *very much* lost data - since your text <br/>
&gt; makes no reference to what it&#39;s about, it&#39;ll never come up on any <br/>
&gt; useful search of these messages.<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>ok i agree with everything you say & thats exactly why i wrote in the<br/>
word animaniacs<br/>
which i considered easily the single most memorable aspect of this<br/>
little treatise<br/>
& thus the one i or anyone would normally use to search for it<br/>
or so i thought<br/>
<br/>
& not being nor wanting to be any more exhaustive an indexer generally<br/>
nor expecting anyone but perhaps you & a few others to be so careful &<br/>
thoughtful as to hit on the most ideal term or terms whenever<br/>
depositing or searching for data<br/>
i think we are bound to be hitting &or missing this way all the time<br/>
as is presently the case with the bp engine<br/>
<br/>
so i dont agree anything was or would be lost<br/>
<br/>
just not necessarily gained to the same extent by everyone forever<br/>
as is presently the case <br/>
as well ok with me<br/>
<br/>
but if or whenever you can do better <br/>
of course please do <br/>
<br/>
<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt; Whereas the Files area is an obvious place to search, it takes about <br/>
&gt; a minute to look through it by hand, and it is nicely annotated. And <br/>
&gt; when I upload there, I take care to post a message containing <br/>
&gt; relevant information about the upload, which is then accessible by <br/>
&gt; the message search process - effectively a link to the file itself.<br/>
&gt; The alternative is for me to inflict a megabyte of data on everyone <br/>
&gt; who subscribes to this group, by including it as a message attachment <br/>
&gt; or (heaven forfend) part of the message itself.<br/>
&gt; As to your difficulty downloading data via library computers, I can&#39;t <br/>
&gt; comment - perhaps they&#39;re deliberately set up that way to avoid <br/>
&gt; maniacs downloading 6.2MB animations? But I think you just need a <br/>
&gt; little advice and tweaking of your own computer in order to get this <br/>
&gt; function working - me, I don&#39;t know anyone else who *can&#39;t* download <br/>
&gt; files in this way!<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>all true &or i will take your word in this case for what i cant<br/>
personally confirm<br/>
but i confess i am astonished to be not only the odd man out but<br/>
mistaken as well in this case<br/>
<br/>
m<br/>
<br/>
are you sure everybody is getting everything<br/>
<br/>
astonished<br/>
