Grin... Bill Bremmer never went away... he simply goes under the guise 
of other people.... More then one here has his / her healthy portion of 
Bremmer Syndrom to answer for... myself included.

But seriously... got to thinking about that suggestion I had..

1:)  There is an obvious workaround to the archives problem. If the 
filters are programed to work only before posts get posted to the 
general list, archiving everything from that point... then one can set 
up a dummy list with one email address as a recipient... a recipient to 
this list. Re-filter everything going into the dummy list and achive all 
that instead.

2:) As far as David Poritts concern relevant to forgetting the 
signalment.... thats really no biggie at all... one can always repost a 
post to Pianotech if one forgets the [arch].. (or whatever) inclusion in 
the subject line.

Theres always a solution. :)  This way we can cut down on the archives 
quite a bit anyways... as there is always a large portion of junk 
posts... kidding around and nonsensical stuff. It would make searching 
the archives much easier as well.

Just a thought
