this isn't? It used to be.... yes, public access to archive, it *should* be searchable...
and on checking, a Google for "whitewall broyan" finds me messages from this group, and pages on the Wiki. What did you mean by "accessible to search engines"?

I must admit, I rarely look at files on groups, but I'm permanently logged into Yahoo anyway.

er... I dunno. I think we used to mention it on the other lists when WW came up, but since I don't follow them any more... It's in the Ygroups directory, most other Gloranthan lists use Yahoo Groups... but I still don't know what you mean about being invisible to search.

OK. Where is it, and what does it do?

(shrugs) Let's give it a go, find out what it does.

If "TPTB" means "the powers that be", that is now, and in this area, you.

Googling that does not find me anything that looks like a "group". Could you provide a link, please?
