1. EUforum improvement suggestions
In the EUforum I would like to see:
1. more than one "previous page"; and,
2. when click on a subject in a post, instead of the action being
to SEARCH for anything resembling that subject title, have it simply
show the beginning post in the THREAD & all posts in that subject thread.
Reasons:
1. sometimes posts are so fast & furious that they disappear too soon;
2. while SOMETIMES clicking on a post subject DOES yield the thread,
it doesn't ALWAYS do so.

Thats we need / should use a forum, not a list.

Thanks for the suggestions.
I think we will eventually add some more pages.
Currently, you can see all the messages since the beginning of
time, in reverse chronological order, by clicking the Search
button while leaving the "keywords" and "posted by" fields blank:
http://www.listfilter.com/cgi-bin/esearch.exu?fromMonth=6&fromYear=1&toMonth=1&toYear=C&postedBy=&keywords=
As for message threads, the only way it can identify a thread
is by searching for messages with (approximately) matching Subject lines
within +/- one month of the message you start with.
If you have found an example where this works badly, please let me know,
and I'll try to refine the match() statement.

Robert,
Actually the "search for subject" has mostly worked fine, it may be that
the topic "SS" is the first/only instance that it didn't, and that's
the topic which prompted my suggestion. It found way more topics, anything
with two ss's together, I think, than just "SS".
And even before Chris reminded me, but after I sent the suggestions,
I remembered that this, contrary to its name, is actually a LIST,
not a forum.

Chris,
You're right, I forgot that this is a list, not a forum as it's named,
until just after I sent the post!

Robert,
Another topic that clicking on the subject in a post doesn't yield the thread is
Chris Bensler's post pointed at by this url, about "$ shorthand side-effects"
(was Digest...)
http://www.listfilter.com/EUforum/m11876.html
Maybe too long, as it doesn't even find itself :)
