hi e re, "someone asks if there is an easy way to download all the posts from a thread" from what i've learned on this thread, surfsaver2.2 is a good way to go at this endeavor... surfsaver.com crow has used the software successfully ( #reply-15590577 ) in conjunction with naviscope. i purchased the surfsaver2.2 cd-rom two months ago with the thought in mind to archive the entire cl thread. so much for big ideas. <g3> i haven't even installed it yet. "It will be very sad if it happens as predicted, because there is a lot of wonderful writing and valuable information in the SI archives" oh, without a doubt, you are correct. but then, too, there is the living in the moment aspect of it all.... whereby we all have had the good fortune to participate in this cyber community and draw from it that which is most vital to us. certainly, archives are sweet, but the doing... the being there... that is the essence. have you ever seen people at a wedding going to great lengths to photograph every angle, every step, in order to have a permanent record of it all... the wedding photos... and what really happened was a posed event. that's the kind of thing i am thinking of. like the family that stands in front of the grand canyon and smiles for the group photo, so they can say they were there. but were they? what is it in us that makes us want to capture a moment, a sunset, a landscape, a birthday... rather than to live in it for that moment? i have been so many places and done so many things for which i have no documentation.... no proof to show anyone.... just the indelible brain imprint. we all see these things differently, i suppose. :) mark
