   Kevin, you're looking at the rubble of a community that no longer really   
   exists.   
      
   If you use Google Groups Advanced Search   
   (), take a look at the   
   way   
   this group functioned in, say, 2000 or early 2001, and if your stomach is very   
   strong look at the breakdown that happened in March and early April 2004.
