CRAIGM,

First problem is locating the name of the eGroup:
DRAKER8= http://groups.yahoo.com/group/draker8/

The owner/moderator should make it "DRAKE-R8"
This then 'allows' for a "Search" on 'drake' and/or 'r8' .

{Better} DRAKE-R8= http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Drake-R8/
-or-
{Best} DRAKE-R8-R8A-R8B=
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Drake-R8-R8A-R8B/
NOTE: YAHOO! Groups does allow the use of "C"apital "L"etters and
Hyphens (-) in the eGroup URLs. This makes it both 'easier' to
"Search" and to "Read".

eGroup "Searchable" Naming EXAMPLES:
Eton E1 XM Radio = http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ETON-E1-XM-Radio/
{Formerly} Grundig Satellit 900 =
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Grundig-Satellit-900/
Grundig S350 {Tecusn BCL-2000} =
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Grundig-S350/
Grundig Yacht Boy Radios =
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Grundig-Yacht-Boy-Radios/
Kenwood-R5000 = http://groups.yahoo.com/group/kenwood-r5000/
Shortwave SWL Antenna =
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Shortwave-SWL-Antenna/
[ Hey Thats Me :]

Second the eGroup's [Message Archive] is PUBLIC so anyone can
come-and-go and "Read" the Messages without Joining the eGroup. This
is good for Lookie-Lews; but is NOT good for building eGroup Membership
and "Community".
