I know there is a way to do this, but, I can't remember how. I want to search for a thread that was posted several years ago. How do I do that? Thanks

I use
Head to groups.google.com. You may want to use the "advanced search" function if you know the rough date, which group it was in, etc.

Here's the "Magic URL":
The Advanced Groups Search link
Group - rec.crafts.metalworking or other specific group that exists. Otherwise, all newsgroups will be searched for your terms/keywords, resulting in excessive results usually. Subject (line) - optional Author - optional
Language - optional
Message Dates - very handy tool, eliminates or includes years of posts returned. If looking for info about a 10 year old item, earlier years can be excluded. No point in searching years prior to the item's existence (in many cases).
