[in response to various requests. followups narrowed to c.i.search] The 'author profiles' offered by DejaNews are one of the most powerful research tools on the Internet. As far as I know, there's no simple route to accessing them. The normal route is to find an article by the author you're interested in, and then click the "Author Profile" button at the bottom (or top) of the page. But if you use it a lot, you can embed the following form on your own page to simplify the process: <form action="http://search.dejanews.com/profile.xp" method=post> <input type="text" name="author" size="40"> <input type="submit" value="DejaNews Author Profile"> </form> (Is there a name for such 'private home pages' that one normally configures as a startup page on the local harddrive, was a more convenient substitute for the bookmarks menu?) j -- "Tell me, Eutrapelus, which is the weaker person: he that yields to another, or he that is yielded to?" --Erasmus
