I think the exception is the Yahoo groups that are private - like
AmiBroker -AT.
The next step is a good threaded RSS reader (one that will accept
Yahoo groups as RSS and thread the messages) - I need one myself and
also to write it up at the UKB as a recommended method.
BTW - my suggestion to Tomasz for improved AB searching was to put a
quality search button on the AB home site (the current search engine
there came off the Ark). Another possibility was to put a button
(that searches all AB sites) on the AB web research toolbar - we
could search all sites for help with a function, if we get stuck,
right from within AB.
Better searching seems to me to be the best 'bang for the buck' in
bringing together the many disparate AB resources.
Best solution at the moment == use Gigablast and enter amibroker.com
and amibroker.org as the sites (Gigablast allows nomination of
multiple target sites in the advanced searches).
