do your search and go back two pages. Then go to the url address bar in your browser. It will look like this:
http://www.freerepublic.com/perl/pings?more=410726258
..or something similar. Now change the first number “4” to a 3 and hit enter — voila you just jumped back six years +/-. Now continue to manipulate the numbers until you get to the time period you want. Saves going back sixty five pages or whatever.
Thanks, I’ll give it a try!
