Bruce, I think I know what you mean. Jim_pd posted to the SEPR club expected sales figures for Xopenex from Morgan Stanley. The 2000 project sales for Xopenex was $167 million. Not long after Jim_pd made the post he posted that he doubted the accuracy of the info stating he thought that IR had mixed up 2001 with 2000 projections. So as not to propagate misinformation, where the poster himself had questioned the post. I deleted it. I also asked Jim_pd to repost the info once he had cleared up the ambiguity. No correction was forthcoming. Notwithstanding, if Xopenex really results in improved FEV1 over racemic albuterol (and it looks like it does) doctors will flock to it starting with the most serious cases. With that the dominoes will tumble. ij

Bruce, I think we will find that after 120 days aging we will not be able to get back to news items, or at least do a search to find them. SI content Searches seem to be limited to 120 days, yet author searches produce results well older than 120 days. Also a second thread for news can not be protected from errant non-news posts. The Yahoo club has a link sub category that will store links, for what appears to be an indefinite period. We have added a lot of the more recent links to the YC list. I added Peter's Southwell article to it today. YC will only store links, so text posts that we want to save will have to be recoverable from the source archives. Yahoo's ability to search for aged posts seems to be very short. Yet you can recover Yahoo posts which are at least 18 months old, if you know the post number.
