I can't find anything in rec.crafts.metalworking over a year old.

It works for me. How long ago did you try? It was out for a few days. There was another thread about it.

Jon, Are you using Comcast or Thunderbird? Clark

Hi Clark,

My ISP is Comcast, but I am not using T-Bird as a browser. Searching any usenet group with advanced search yields only posts from this year, in both IE and Firefox.

One thing to note is that I do not have an account with Google (never have).

OK, it's back. Now in addition to power outtages, internet outages, phone outages, and snow, now I have Google outages.

Enjoy, DoN.

Well ... it worked for me -- and I have never had an account with Google.

But I am not going though Comcast, and I am using Opera as my browser.

Enjoy, DoN.

Well, Don, you must be a magic Genie because it works now.

Thanks for fixing it! :)
