| I second that motion!
This notes file is getting very large and anything we can do to
make searching through it easier would be appreciated by all.

| I also agree. A topic titled "Need Help" is "no help" on a title
search.

| I think the one thing we could all do is to keep the threads on
one topic together.It seems that someone will post a note,and then
days later post another,on the same topic or pointing back to the
first note.If a topic has been addressed we should learn to use
that note,and not start another.I too get the feeling that if I
go back to a note labled lets say "professional page"an leave a
request for help it will go unnoticed.In this notes file it may
well be the case!This is because we have gotten into the habit of
writing a new note,as opposed to useing the old.Maybe we can have
the moderator help us clean up the notes.A good example would be
the topics Downloading,and arc.

| 2500.4 | Delete your old 4SALE notes | CHET::NILSEN | Bob Nilsen @ 264-7017 | Tue Apr 25 1989 09:13 | 6 |

Also, How about deleting old FOR-SALE notes, after they have been
sold instead of writing a reply saying SOLD.

| We should all try to use keywords more often. I know that I never
do. If you are not familiar with keywords check out the help system
within notes. Also for your own benefit you can use the MARK command to
help you find specific notes in a conference. I do use MARK quite
often.

| 2500.6 | browsing leads to knowledge | ANT::JANZEN | T - 500 picoseconds and counting | Tue Apr 25 1989 11:05 | 5 |
| I disagree completely. If we have no keywords and vague topic titles
then it's necessaryh to read through many more topics and replies
to get the information, and on the way, you learn much more about
the amiga!

| 2500.7 | rather not browse | WOODRO::LEIMBERGER | | Tue Apr 25 1989 12:43 | 10 |

Maybe browsing is fun for you,but I think that an organized notes
file is the only way to go.I have been following this note file
for a long time,and have read most of the postings.If I need info
on building a cable I want to find it quick,and easy.I don't want
to have to plod through many notes I have read already.On days i
feel like browsing then I do,but I like to do it by choice,not out
of necessity.

| 2500.8 | 1 note for 'sale' items | FSCORE::KAYE | He who dies with the most toys is dead | Tue Apr 25 1989 12:58 | 6 |
| re 'for sale'
Why not have 1 note for sale items and 1 note for wanted items. Some
other conferences use this and it seems to work quite well.
