Dear Robbie,  Every now and then the Dutch street organ shows up in the
MMD.  And of course a lot of other subjects are of interest to me and
other MMD-members, but I would like to find out if, in any way, a more
subject-oriented way of communication could be achieved.

 [ Editors note:
 [
 [ That's a tough problem, Jan.  Right now the Digest is "serial access
 [ text data"; one must trudge through all the articles one-after-
 [ another.  The communication aspect is the nice part: a letter in
 [ response can appear the next day in the Digest.
 [
 [ Unlike a newspaper, which prints a title preceding each story (the
 [ "headline"), we try to compose a short subject description which can
 [ be found by a computer search engine, or even a string search utility
 [ at the reader's computer.  But usually there is space for mention of
 [ only one subject, thus an article about H. Moehlmann organs in a movie
 [ probably won't have mention of Dutch street organs in the subject
 [ line.
 [
 [ In just a short time Jody and Bob Fitterman will announce the new index
 [ and search features which Bob has developed for the MMD Archives.
 [ I hope this will help you and others searching for specific subjects.
 [
 [ Robbie
