I don't remember where I got this excellent advice but let me pass it on anyway: "You can go into http://www.dejanews.com/ It archives most all newsgroups for at least several months. Anything you miss on the newsgroups can usually be picked up there, often more conveniently since you can search both the headings and the text."
