Tell me, are you trying to be insulting there or am i just misinterpreting you?

You haven't been here very long. I have a very warped sense of humor. ;-)

There are hundreds of good sources mentioned in those archives, much more than I can remember the names and URLs for. Also, there are discussions over good and bad suppliers, as well as where to find certain obscure parts. Its a real gold mine, if you'll just grab your pick and shovel to do a little exploring. Don't forget your miner's headlamp! ;-)

I don't read much French, but I did a simple Google search and came up with this:

I hope that was at all helpful...

Welcome to the frequently fascinating, frequently frustrating world of the electron.

DaveC (who stripped out attributi>I don't read much French,

I only speak American--so I'm in the same boat.

Actually, what you did was an *Advanced* search. Man, **those** URLs *do* get verbose.

Note to Dave: Noble effort, but...

1) **site:** only works on the Web search engine; The *Groups* equivalent is **ingroup:** ...and the period you included isn't necessary.

2) Google will find the words

--even if you spell the words using only ASCII characters. (A regular e will work for the accented e

--and it shortens the URL by 3 characters.)

3) Just a general hint (Google is currently dicking with their Groups search engine and has it all screwed up): Phrases: (All of these would have worked 2 weeks ago.) -or- -or- -or- (Adding the plus sign after the %22 makes all words in the URL Google-searchable.)

When whittled down to something that **actually works**, the URL is pretty manageable:

Tweaked to something even more specific:

...and I agree with Terrell: Guys that are already at Google to do their Usenet posting should really give Google's Groups search engine a try FIRST.

I don't know what Reality Distortion Field you are routing your web browser through, but...

"Simple" as in "only 3 terms" (or was it 4...?)

It *is* a Google web search...

not a Google Groups search.

Man, you do get pedantic, doncha?

That wasn't the part that caught my attention. I saw &va_vt=any&vo_vt=any&ve_vt=any&vp_vt=any&vd=all&vf=all&vm=p&fl=0 and my brain locked. That's the kind of (mostly useless) junk I'm used to seeing with Advanced Google Groups searches. (Google Groups uses underscore characters and *that* I missed.)

Actually, it' not. I just noticed this was *Yahoo*--but it was the Web.[1] Now I recognize the syntax

--and it definately IS an *Advanced* Yahoo search. (I'm guessing your personalized Yahoo preferences.)[2]

I haven't seen anyone leave that specific gibberish in posted links. I'm guessing most folks have the sense to strip out the noise

--or don't have a bunch of useless[2] Yahoo preferences set

--or (most likely) don't use Yahoo.

It's been know to happen. 8-) . . [1] Yahoo's & Google's color schemes matching is just weird. Google Groups switching away from the tan color was dumb.

[2] "Useless" because Yahoo's default on all of these is **all** (without the added noise) and--with the slightest provocation-- Yahoo will make stupidly long, indecypherable noise-filled URLs.

Migth be of interest..
