RE: A really stupid question

Also, I think an actual searchable list is on the orafaq site whickh is in the footer of each message

For example

http://www.orafaq.com/supsearc.htm

I searched Goddess

And came back with a ton of hits, so, I figgure it must be hitting archives from the fatcity list
;-)

Try it....
