Again, thank you. While I don't "know" from experience what it's like, I can
extrapolate based on managing large-ish projects and knowing many people who
have managed long-term projects. But nothing as long-term as THIS!
You should have a donation page AND a shrine.

I hope that this new money and effort isn't wasted - I was just trying again
last night to reference some very recent posts of my own, and I didn't find what
I was looking for.
I often try to use the "site:news.povray.org search-terms" format to focus on
what I want to find, but I inevitably get a lot of results that unsurprisingly
have to do with bald eagle news stories and whatnot.
If there are any tricks (keywords added to posts, special characters, etc) that
would help find things that would be good to know. At least I could start
writing better posts that would help me find them in the future.
Is there any extant special kung-fu that allows looking for posts only BY a
specific user, or that only have attachments? If there's an upper limit on the
number of results, that might help keep the desired posts from falling off that
far edge.
I'm also wondering if Thunderbird users have the ability to search their
downloaded messages more efficiently than G**gle, since I'm imagining that it
would be much like searching my email or using grep on local files.
