Sometimes this is the only solution. A while back you yourself forced me to
make a fix at my end for something I still believe should be fixed at the
source. OK, I accepted that and I still read the newsgroups and occasionally
make a lame post.
I'm referring to the pause set search that I and many others believe should be
available directly on every page. My personal fix (suggested by someone here)
was to make a local html page with the search box so it loads much faster than
the one with the useless matches from the news articles. Then I added this
page to the Netscape toolbar. I had to do this both at home and at work.
And it's still not as good as a pause search box on every page. But hey,
I'm flexible.
Anyways, in defense of JW, he helped me out once with a quick response via
email to a particularly stupid question I had about some pieces. So from
my perspective he's a valuable contributor (for whatever that's worth).
Just my 2 cents.
