[Coco] 10 years of Delphi posts (1985-1995)

[Arthur Flexser]

I wondered about that, but it seemed to me that the message referenced in
the "Re: Msg..." was almost NEVER in the list of messages listed below the
one presently displayed.  Are you sure your searches are turning up ALL
messages under a particular subject?  I know that many messages are missing,
but it doesn't seem like SO many should be, unless somebody deleted a very
large number of them after I stopped using Delphi.

Come to think of it, do you have a count of how many Delphi messages are in
your database, and how does that count compare with the highest message
number?
