I was just checking on a previous post of mine, and ran across this thread.
Don't pay attention to the other guys. They obviously aren't familiar with WebTV. You want to search the group for past posts, you go thru and read the posts you're interested in. However, if you want to look for post that have already vanished, you want the archives. Here's the link.

's supposed to automatically say rec.woodworking, but someone probably "improved" something, so you're gonna have to type in rec.wooworking for the group you want. Or, whatever group you want. Then type in the author, or subject, or keywords. No prob. You want a couple of free plans, check for JOAT. You'll run across a dozen free plans, at least.
Actually, WebTV isn't as limited as most people think. It has word processing sites (only useful if you have a printer), can send and receive e-mail, and surf. That's all most people use computers for. I've got a printer, links saved for writing PDF, and finding new stuff I'm interested in all the time. Works for me.
