The good thing is, since the list archives are public, if you just type
dmmug <something> you'll get search results from the list archives in
google. And if you ever forget, every e-mail from the mailing list includes
a link to the info page so you can view the archives.

For really great search results, type  site:cialug.org dmmug <something>
(but I'd never remember that either).
