I'm looking for the best way to access the clayart archives -can I do
better than going to http://www.findmail.com/list/clayart/ ? Any info on
the archives would be appreciated...

Hi Don:
Four archieve sites are available at the moment.
There are listed in order of my preference.
Try all four to find which you prefer.
They each work and look a little different.

Don --
My favorite way is through Dejanews (www.dejanews.com), which
archives all kinds of different newsgroups. This one is good
for when you know what the keywords are likely to be and want to
search specifically for messages containing those words. When
you get to the Dejanews home page, click Power Search at the top of
the page. On the Power Search page, type in your search request in
the box at the top. Below, under Search Options, in the box marked
Forum, type: bit.listserv.clayart. This will limit the search to
just Clayart messages -- if you don't do this, you will still get the
Clayart messages, but you may also get all kinds of other stuff, some
of it relevant, much of it not. Now click the Find button, back up
at the top next to where you typed your search request. Ta-da!
My next favorite, good for browsing, rather than searching, is
"Clayart discussions by subject", found at
www.potters.org/categories.htm. This one gives you a kind of Table
of Contents format, not searchable, but easy to use and more
comfortable to read, I think.
There are others, including Findmail, but I find them less
satisfactory.
Hope this helps, and happy searching!
