Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

Sorry for bothering again, but is there a better way to read the 
messages of that group using the yahoo interface? It's really 
terrible to frequently get that sponsering message just after 
clicking on a message. And the search function is useless 'cause it 
is only for a short range of messages, not for the whole archive: 
tell me a way to quickly find a message in 2002 about "xyz" using 
that local search function?

So, is there a way to read the database of that group in a better way 
like newsgroup readers or so? Perhaps there also is a way 
to "download" the database of that group and read it offline with a 
viewer of your choice (like newsgroups)?

Are there other newsgroups/groups/forums/lists dealing with EMU XX-7 
command stations?


Thanks and cheers,
Uri
