Hi Mike LOL! Sorry, not laughing at your expense, but it tickled me.
Journey to Forever and the Biofuel list are closely associated but not the same. The Journey to Forever website is about much more than just biodiesel and biofuels, that's just a part of it, and the website is just a part of the project, lots about which isn't yet on the website. I spend most of my time working on the project itself, I guess that's why it tickled me. If only that's all it was! (Naah, not really.) Anyway, the JtF website and the Biofuel list are not directly linked, you can't search the one from the other. Searching the JtF website for www.earthpolicy.org or earth-policy won't find anything, there's nothing at our website about it. The Biofuel list has two archives. There's one at the list's own website, here: http://sustainablelists.org/pipermail/biofuel_sustainablelists.org/ The Biofuel Archives It comes with the mailing list software.Check it out, it's useful, but it's not searchable. When we moved the list to its current host we had a lot of trouble finding an archiving service that could import a large existing archives so it could be searched. That's the Mail Archive, they're great, they were really a big help. That archives is not at the list's website or at the JtF website, it's here: http://www.mail-archive.com/biofuel@sustainablelists.org/ biofuel I gave you this link: >http://snipurl.com/ody7 That's an "alias", the real url is this one, at the Mail Archive site: http://www.mail-archive.com/cgi-bin/htsearch?method=and&format=short&c onfig=biofuel_sustainablelists_org&restrict=&exclude=&words=www.earthp olicy.org Much too long! A lot of emailers break these long links in transmission so it doesn't work. You can put it back together again though. Less trouble with very long urls is to use the SnipURL service instead, here: http://snipurl.com/ SnipURL - Snippetty snip snip with your long URLs! Paste in the long link and it'll give you a short alias url like the one I gave you. It's quick, and they're permanent so it won't result in dead links unless the original long link dies. Hope this helps. I'm glad it wasn't a snake! Best Keith >Keith, > >I had searched for just "earth policy" and "earth-policy", and came >up with zero >hits the first time.
