My sentiments exactly. I *REALLY* wish there was
a searchable "kevinbuettnersknowledgenuggets.org"
web site. I do use the PLUG archives when I remember
that "Hmmm. Seems like Kevin posted something on

simply dd his mind onto a searchable web site
somewhere. :)

Come on, Kevin! Write some books! Make some coin!
