I would assume that what I do on the Mac is possible from other platforms
also: I open up a text file in a simple text-processor, select and copy any
items in a thread from the archives that I wish and paste them
consecutively into the text file; it's really very easy so long as you can
keep both the web browser and the text-processor running at the same time
and move back and forth from one to the other easily.
I am back from my week in Tucson and it's nice being back (it was
awfully--or should I use the current jargon and say "awesomely" nice there,
too!).
