larry, you're too kind ;-)
I'll tell you the trick. I'm playing the registration watchdog in the background (great way to kill spam before it hits the forum) so I'm constantly observing what's going on and who's online (provided I'm at home and I'm not distracted by something). And that user had only 1 post before so I checked him and that post. I felt I should inform him of the search function, that's all, haha. That post was his only post so it also could have been like 7 years old or anyway. Plus I was surprised that there weren't any replies - the Phonic series isn't that rare so I'm sure some people might have a lot to contribute.
