Since E-Budo has come back I have tried to locate past contributions by Drs. Friday and Bodiford and have been unsuccessful. I have always found contributions by these gentlemen to be informative and satisfying additions to my understanding of Japanese traditions. Any help locating their material would be appreciated. Anyone?

Best Wishes,

Bruce

You can search for a user's posts by finding them in the Member List and then choosing "Find all posts by [this user]" in their profiles. Here are the links for Mr. Friday and Mr. Bodiford:

William Bodiford (http://www.e-budo.com/forum/search.php?do=finduser&u=273)

Thanks very much. I kept getting 'not found" and had begun to think that maybe old material had been taken down. Again, many thanks.

Best Wishes,

Bruce

".....E-Budo most likely needed to be indexed when you ran your search..."

Sorry. Not sure exactly what this means. Thoughts?

Also: When the search function does its magic, is it possible to search for the contents of a signature block as well as the content of the post? The reason I ask is that many posters automatically have their signature block attached while sometimes the salutation of a particular post may vary. If the search can home-in on the signature block it would seem that one would be comfortable in assuming that all possible contributions by a particular poster have been located. Thoughts? Comments?

Best Wishes,

Bruce
