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

I hate Yahoo. I would be willing to admin a group at www.ampfea.org, but
only if it was a group majority decision. Ampfea, for those who may not
know, is a great community/mailing list service for electronic artists.

Just go the the messages area, then hit expand you will just see 
them scroll down the page oh so nicely...........

Yes, 19 messages per page. So you only have to scroll through 728,42 
pages to read all messages. ;-)) Not so say anything about searching 
contents. I hope you get my point here. ;-)) A nice vBulletin base 
forum with great search function would be nice. There doesn't exist 
any forum for the xx-7 command boxes. *sniff* Only this group with 
great contents in the postings but horrible search and view 
functionality...

A lot of thanks for your offer. I've started a poll asking for that 
interest. Hope to get enough people.

You're completely right, ampfea has a much better interface than 
yahoo. Especially the downloading feature (gzipped files) is, what
I've been looking for.

Unfortunately, there will be perhaps no way to "rescue" the posting
from here. *sniff* Nearly 14000 messages into the void. Is there
really no way to get them into ampfea???


Cheers,
Uri

Unless you have another email app like Outlook or Lotus, I don't know of 
another way.  It is annoying though, I'll give you that.
