Good stuf! thanks for the tips!-M"J Fortuna" wrote in message ... Mariana, Let's assume that Diana did not find the message. This is how one could go about finding it: 1) Go to http://groups.google.com 2) Click on the "Advanced Groups Search" link 3) From Diana's posts up to here in the thread, we know some facts about this message: a) The group that the message was posted to was rec.gardens.orchids b) The author was Diana Kulaga c) The message was posted sometime in February 2004 (so the dates should be between 1 Feb 2004 and 29 Feb 2004) d) The message probably mentioned Frank ;-) since Diana got the orchids from Frank e) The message may also include "gift" or "present" or "birthday"-- but these search criteria are probably not really needed, since finding all messages that Diana posted to rgo in February 2004 that mentioned Frank should enable you to locate this message fairly quickly. Now, since Diana did find and repost this message, my reply is not as useful in this particular case, but I hope it will help you dig up other messages in the archives in the future.. For example if I were to say that I posted a messages to rgo a couple or a few months ago that contained a lot of tips on how to search the rgo archive in google, you could easily locate that message, right? :-) Best, Joanna "GrlIntrpted" wrote in message et... Oh...I missed it!.... how can I go about digging it up? -M "Diana Kulaga" wrote in message hlink.net... I'd have to reconstruct it, though I posted the list back in February. You can probably still can find it. Diana

ur welcome
