DCers ===== Can I just say thanks to all the contributors to the 'Search Engines' thread. An extraordinarily interesting and considered bunch of contributions which really helped clarify my thinking. I am intrigued as to what prompted such detailed and thoughtful contributions (apart from the quality of list members which I take for granted). Was it just the topic? I am intrigued by possibility that the explanation may be that I gather it is Thanksgiving in USA and presumably people have a public holiday. Certainly makes a strong case for public holidays increasing productivity - not the prevailing view of governments in Australia. Anyway, thanks to all.
