I haven't seen the search time out for months. Could we afford to set "since day one" as the default?

Maybe there is a reason otherwise but it would be handy. In favour here please...

It's not for me, bshort. It's for all the double posters who say "but I searched!"

I think the phrase is 'differently motivated' actually.

'Differently abled' is more like it; dozens of people can't seem to see the "from day one" option.

If the searches aren't timing out, why limit them at all? It's still a double if it's more than a year old.

I know you don't, T, but your posts make it sound like you WANT the search to time out :)

I think he meant that you were at a little short (i.e., curt).

Ah, ah.

Yep, that's one of the hazards of having an adjective as your last name: bad puns directed at your person.

Sorry for the obtuseness...
