Gimme a break, Hans.  That's not was deja is for.  It's like asking a
ferrari to go four-wheeling in the mud.  

Sure it helps to know what usenet is all about when searching, but even if
you don't you'll find your answers, if they are there.  99% of the time they
are, and not just AS/400 stuff either.  I have plenty of examples.  One
including a problem with a DVD movie that wouldn't show theatrical trailers.
I got on deja and within 1 minute I had the answer (actually 20 or more) of
why I was getting a "parental lock" message when trying to view theatrical
trailers.

Let me tell you, typing in a search phrase and clicking "find" is the same
thing google does.  No different.  And it's real discussions.  Usenet (and
this list) are more valuable because they are real world stuff.

Google and deja both have their means.  They're both good at what they do.

It the only faults you can find with something are things that it is not
meant to do, then let's just drop this thread.
