Can we move the use-list to a Google Chat

[Mike Kerner]

I get the inability to search the archive for n00bs.  That's a problem.
For those of us who receive these messages in one of our google accounts,
it isn't a problem.  In my case I have a hair under 13,000 threads that I
have received since my arrival in the LC community. I wonder if Edinburgh
has something resembling a searchable index for the n00bs, though.

On the first day, God created the heavens and the Earth
On the second day, God created the oceans.
On the third day, God put the animals on hold for a few hours,
   and did a little diving.
And God said, "This is good."
