Someone once told me (alright, it was more than once, but it's been awhile)
how to find my old posts to the newgroups. They appeared in a Google web
page. I think it was done using my e-mail. Please remind me how to do this.
Thanks in advance.

Go to Google.com and then click on the More button (up at the top) and then "Groups" and then hit the search button.

What do I use for a search term to find the messages? Do I use "sheana"?
Thanks in advance.

Go here http://groups.google.com/advanced_search?q=&

and search on whatever you need to to identify yourself
(she...@nospam.invalid in "words" may be better than just sheana in
"author") and to find a particular message use the words, subject,
date range, etc. you used in that message.
