Searching the archives (was RE: [mythtv-users] How about using a Ram disk for the ringbuffer tospeed up channel change?)

[Chris Delis]

I realize this now, Thanks.  I made the mistake of joining the list before
checking out the searchable archives link next to it.
This took me to the subscribe page which had its own link to the
archives (but not the gossamer threads).  I made a horrible assumption
that the archives link was the "searchable" link.  Maybe it'd be a
good idea to add the gossamer link to the mailing list options site,
too?  Or, maybe I'm the only one on earth that has made this mistake
(I wouldn't doubt it? :-)
