Subject: RE: Help: Sean Hogan, 'old' IRA
I see,

I often forget how long it took me to learn all the features of Mudcat.

I used the 'Forum Search' above (under the 'quick links'). I could have entered your name for a name search to get all your posts (but with an increasing number of posts that's sometimes a bad idea, for it takes too long) and to scan for the thread. But I usually use the 'subject' search which is effective if you still recollect at least one word from the title of the thread. I didn't recollect the title of this thread so I had to guess. I first tried 'Galtee Mountain Boy' to no avail and then tried directly 'Hogan' hoping you would have used that name in the title. You had and so by another one or two clicks I had the thread.

Very useful, but I also remember when I tried in vain to refind a thread about a song and did not guess that the first poster had spelled the name of the group 'Cheiftans'.
