Clicking those links again brought me nothing but screensful of html
instructions, but meanwhile I tried searching "google groups" in
Netscape 4.7. That did indeed provide results, but when I clicked on any
of the results, it didn't take me to the text or message it had found,
but to (apparently) the last message in the thread that contained the
searched text (I searched "Alexander Gross" Daniels NYU, after searching
just the first two terms produced seven pages of results, 73 items.)
But enough of the context was quoted on the results pages that I could
see the incriminating text is in emails from the first two weeks in
April -- because in one of the contexts, ironically, I say it wouldn't
be ethical to quote Algross's private email.
I don't suppose he has the decency to reprint all our emails on the
topic here?
