Hi Neil:
Google'ing seems to work pretty well for me, ya just have to go to the
advanced search function in some cases.
Try this string, which gives back about 90+ archive hits on the subject,
going back to 1999:
M135 transmission mil-veh -headset -perkins -marine
Drop the 'transmission' specific and stand by to get overwhelmed on
archive posts about the M135, then add M211 for even more .....
Maybe when Dad, er, Arthur gets back, we could ask him nicely for a
search mode....

Subject: Re: [MV] list archive (why I choose to unsubscribe)
Ron makes a good point here. However, I would point out that there is no
archive "search" that I am aware of, which helps contribute to this exact
problem. If Google hasn't cached what I'm looking for from the archives,
then I am hitting the list with it, even though it was asked last month.
<SNIP>
If I am in the dark, and there is an archive keyword search available,
please let me in on it. Otherwise, I would suggest adding one as an
invaluable tool to help members find information, and to stop members from
whining ("Doesn't anyone read the archives? I'm posting this for the 5th
time....blah, blah, blah..."). I believe there are 3rd party sources for
mailing list archiving. I'd be willing to kick in a few bucks toward it.
