Well, if you use the yahoo search, that's understandable.  However, the
ukha-archive search is *far* better.  Sadly, people don't know about it
until they post "I've searched the archive...." questions.

IMO, fragmentation is bad enough already - we have the list with its web
interface, the ukha-achive, the forums, and the faq.  Whilst all of these
areas are great, I can't help thinking that the sheer volume of places to
query is lessening the separate value of each one.  Then there's all the
other ukha groups....
