After going to www.dictionary.com to discover what uncanny means I can tell how I do it.

If it is important enough I can fetch it. But it works for very specific tracking. It doesn't work for general tracking.

I try hard to remember a specific word that was present in the posting. Must a be a unusual word:

I recall writting/reading an specific word (For instance the "Incumbents live to kill and kill to live" I did a search on the NFCTF for 'kill'.We haven't used much that word in that subject. So I can easliy find the Jim Kayne posting.) and do a search "This subject Only".

In the other case I tried meaning 'meaningful' to fetch the message where you said incumbents were ready for a 3G attack.

It would be too time consuming to create a data base with the -should I say meaningful- posting in SI.

But I have been frustrated a few times.

The other way is to remember when we were discussing certain topic. Say I remember I discussed when I was just about to leave the Czech Republic. It must have been about August/September 2001.

If today posting is (just a Nr.) 36598. I write 23000 in the field 'Go to Reply #' 23000. If the result shows say, January 2001. I increase the number to 28000, then I will get closer until I am in the time frame I want to see the posting.

It is not as time consuming as you might think. Again if it is important enough I usually find it.
