The message
from (Ian Myatt) contains these words:


I missed your original post,

For the benefit of anyone who doesn't know, most newsgroup posts are
archived in www.groups/google. It's free for everyone. There's a good
help section to show you how to use the archive search engine which is
very simple and user friendly.

In this particular instance Ian could find the past discussion by
asking the search engine to look in urg and retrieve posts about
hedgehog pooh", or Tim's posting history.

HTH

Janet.
