Close, but no cigar: He already _knows_ which thread it is (at least, that's
what he seemed to imply). Not knowing what to search on (beyond the possible
posters' names (Mike, dorayme, Nick)) resulted in scads of difficult to cull
posts within Entourage (which is where all the posts I've saved are stored
on my machine).

Of course, there may be a simple way to search on the 'net that I, a
relatively inexperienced newsgrouper, am unaware of. If so, I'd be most
grateful if you'd tell me how.

You wanted to know the _subject_ of the thread? Why didn't you just ask
that directly in the first place? If you had, I would have answered
directly. That answer, though, is that I haven't the slightest idea.
It's not as if the bickering between you and dorayme had anything at all
to do with the subject. I just know that I joked about making you sit at
separate dinner tables and you somehow took that to mean I was siding
with you.
