Dear Craig,


I do not very often search by the google search or your archive. I
normally
spent a few minutes per day reading this newsgroup articles and
sometimes
I am able to help someone. The most interesting things I have stored 
to a local mail folder. The oldest one is from David Fanning followed by
Phil Williams in 1996. In the past and till now I have stored these
mails myself because I am not sure if deja or google will stay alive all 
the time I plan working with idl. 

Someone else who is not regulary reading this famous newsgroup or an
idl beginners needs each help he or she can get. If someone has a
problem
he or she can search a big library of questions and answers and I
believe
a lot of people are interested in reading archives. 

As David did preparing requests into tips is very useful for all of us.
This is the right way to organize an archive but it takes a lot of time.
And this is the answer of your question too. 

I will not demand that's you have to organize your archive in this way
until I am myself are able to do the same.



best wishes

Reimar
