I had saved some old discussions which I wanted to cut and paste into my own 'how to' files. Many of them come up on a blind screen, now. How can I search the old forum threads from Gatherings?  Vicki - are you listening and answering?  Also, how far back.

Further, I was missing a page of something I had downloaded from the Threads site. How can I reach old (prior to 1990) information?

I seems like it doesn't pay to stick around for awhile.  Interestingly, sometimes when tips/information comes up on a lot of forums and sites it seems it is a repeat of something I have seen before.  I save the new information, but the info I REALLY want is floating around somewhere in cyberspace lost forever. I can't find it yet I know it is there somewhere.
