To anyone who might know, but especially our illustrious list administrators: Michael's reference to shells named after women prompted me to search the archives for a message I posted on that subject at least a couple of years ago. After trying several keywords I am certain were in the message and in the title, I have to conclude - it isn't there. Any particular reason? Are older messages removed from the archives? Or was there possibly an "event" in which a group of messages were lost? Regards, Paul M.
