   You sure do have a reading comprehension problem. I just stated that   
   I searched for the Message-ID in Google Groups and got nothing.

   There are a great many things of which you aren't aware. What you are   
   truly unaware of is how searching a database works, and how poorly it   
   functions when the indexes aren't built and maintained.
