The best way to read this board - ADOBE ACROBAT !
for a long time I have been waiting for an opportunity to let you guys know how to best tame this monster of a message-board, IMHO....
When I came across the Gorilla thread I realized that it's hard to follow up every day without missing important contributions. Also, I felt that I needed a way to archive and organize messages for later reference, to be able to first digest some 20000 messages electronically instead of
force-feeding myself.

1. Buy the full package of Adobe Acrobat version 4.x
2. Select "Open Web Page" in the File Menu
3. Enter URL: Message 7831182 which is Uncle Frank's first message
4. Choose Download
5. Save as something like "SI Gorilla.pdf"
6. After that click next 10, next 10, next 10 until the resulting PDF file is big enough that you would like to start a new one (5000 messages occupy about 40 MB of your harddisk).
7. Stop when you are tired and continue another time until you have downloaded the complete thread.
8. Use the Catalog function to index your downloaded pdf files, and other PDF if you like

now enjoy reading and researching this goldmine of investor's wisdom and experience:

9. The downloaded PDF files preserve HTML links and are fully clickable. One click downloads new contents inside or outside SI into your file.
10. Search catalog for "Project Hunt" or "Uncle Frank" or whatever you like and browse through
11. Use electronic HIGHLIGHTER and do your own ANNOTATIONS !
12. Extract pages, show structures, create hyperlinks etc.

Before going back into lurk-mode I would like to say "thank you" to all of you, the main actors who filled this Gorilla Game with life. Besides pure "Gorilla talk" and analysis I have also been enjoying the emotional or anecdotal side of discussion where wisdom and thread-bloat co-exist.

Maybe I should buy some ADBE now ...... the beast which created the PDF platform ...... ;)
