13 Aug 01 - 05:17 PM (#527023) Subject: Help me find an old thread, please From: GUEST,Ian It's not so much the thread I'm after but a particular message, and the link contained therein. It was a thread about the US election debacle, chads etc. Someone (Catspaw49 maybe) posted a link to a real audio song which used the tune of Bob Dylan's 'Don't Think Twice' to make some nice comments on the voting process. I'd love to find it again Thank you, and peace to you all Ian |

You could search them from there. If you think it was Catspaw49, you can click on his name in any thread and it will popup all of his postings. |

13 Aug 01 - 05:41 PM (#527053) Subject: RE: BS: Please help me find an old thread From: katlaughing Uh huh and you want us to, instead?*big grin* (no offense) If you go to the Quick Links and look at the drop down menu, you can choose Forum Search, put in Catspaw's name and enter the subject, i.e. chads or bush, then hit go. What I do, because he's been as prolific a poster as me, is I hit the Stop up at the top of my browser after it has loaded about halfway; it takes a minute but it will stop and you should get enough of a listing of his messages that you could find it. Hopefully he, or whoever posted it, will remember and let you know where it is, though.:-) kat |

I wasn't suggesting that you should do it for me, but I'm not here that often and some of you know your way around better than me Thanks anyway Ian |

Someone will remember and find it for you. I'll send Spaw a PM and ask him to take a look, just in case it was him. All the best, kat |

13 Aug 01 - 06:23 PM (#527103) Subject: RE: BS: Please help me find an old thread From: McGrath of Harlow But there were so many threads on that, and threads on other things which drifted into talking about it.
Here's Tricky Dickie's Revenge, one thread with a couple of songs in it (one of them by me) - but not the one you are after.
Putting Bush, or for that matter Gore, into a search engine threatens to come up with all kinds of irrelevant stuff, like Border Ballads, where both words are quite common. Chad might be better I imagine.
EUREKA - I've just found it (having entered "dinmpled chad" in the search engine and found a thread called "Punch it Twice it's all right", and it was catspaw posted the words. And here they are |
