I think it's pretty hard to search the archives of Mudcat at archive.org or the Library of Congress, so that's a problem - I need to learn how to search those archives. But Google is pretty good at it. If Mudcat is down, I Google what I'm seeking. In the top line of each entry in Google results, there are three dots. Click them, and lots of information will appear - choose the "cached" option at the bottom, and you will see Google's cache of the thread. Even when Mudcat is down, I can find stuff on Mudcat through Google, almost as fast as I can find it on Mudcat.

And it's my job to help people find stuff at Mudcat - and I like doing it. It you have trouble, ask me.
