Yesterday I was looking for an old message from Tim Moyer in which he >addressed the affects of alcohol on plastic. NO combination of the terms >'alcohol', 'Moyer', or 'Tim' (with all variations on capitalization) using >the boolean 'and' operator found this message. Oddly, the search function I think the instructions are wrong. "alcohol plastic" produced a couple of hits (none from Tim Moyer, but some from Tim Moody), without using the "and" . I think the indexing function may ignore certain common words (such as 'the', 'a', and by the appearance of things, 'Tim Moyer'). It may have been setup to ignore 2 letter combinations, such as CX. >>>>>>>>>>>
Me thinks it's a conspiracy against Tim Moyer since he's entered the exclusive world of custom harping! They're trying to push you off the market Tim! You didn't get a sharpened pencil in the mail, did ya?
I was thinking of starting a mic business, but I'm afraid what Tom Ellis might do to me, my family and my harp-l postings at the archive..........
