GNHLUG Mailing Lists

GNHLUG provides several e-mail mailing lists, for discussion and posting announcements. The major attraction here is by far the General Discussion list.

You could always search through google. The search pattern

    linux  inurl:/pipermail/ site:gnhlug.org

should find every message in the list archives that contains the 
word "linux". 

On the BLU site, I set up a search box to automate this: 

    <form method="get" action="http://www.google.com/search">
    <input type="text" name="q" size=31 maxlength=255 valie="" />
    <select name="q" size=1>
        <option value="inurl:pipermail/announce">announce</option>
        <option value="inurl:pipermail/discuss">discuss</option>
    </select>
    <input type="submit" name="sa" value="Search Google" />
    <input type="hidden" name="as_sitesearch" value="blu.org" />
    <input type="hidden" name="num" value="100" />
    </form>

I found this in the O'Reilly "Google Hacks" book a while back.
