Thanks for the thoughts on that stuff.  It's still baffling how the 
thing has been up for quite some time and the crawler STILL hasn't even 
FOUND various text strings on that page.  I recently added the map thing 
whatever you call it that tells the crawler what to prioritize. 
Hopefully it'll get it through it's skull this time.  One friend of mine 
thinks it's some kind of conspiracy.  Wondering how much clout Henry 
Spencer has with google. **  But whatever the case it's probably just 
some..oddity.  But in general...isn't google supposed to have SOMEWHERE 
in it's results every possible combination like that on any web page the 
crawler can reach?  It has SOME of the stuff from that page in it's 
listing so it *has* been there... -Bob


**  For those who don't know the history...the guy who kept the archives 
from days of old newsgroups.    Henry once exploded with a 7 page cuss 
out letter of my person in reply, believe it or not, to the question 
offered Kenn Barry "What could I hypothetically offer you that would 
serve as good, solid historical evidence for the resurrection".  The 
post was titled 'I spew thee off the usenet'. 

Anyway Spencer apparently erradicated me from the archives as well.  
Save one cross post from an alternate domain name due to some hickup in 
our masscomp500's address that day..a uucp thing instead of 
greylady.uoregon.edu

So basically hundreds of posts I'd made were deleted..in fact the whole 
threads that I was involved in were just deleted.  Posting volume in 
talk.misc.religion slumped from 70 threads I think in '86 to 15 in '87 
towards the end of which the admin responded to his harrassment by just 
unplugging the whole campus from outside newsgroups.

So basically the 'keeper of the archives' was a cyberbully who kept 
'selective history'.
