Thanks! I'd clock the "reply" to message 2, then in the browser list source, and copy that code into Notepad or other text editor. I'd try sending the HTML in a FReepmail message, but it would overflow the capacity and take several messages to get there.

I am starting out doing it in Excel.

Saved all 583 links as HTML/URL links in the first column. Done.

Now I can use the other columns to identify a category for each post (likely geographic) and where possible date/date periods.

Eventually I can then sort things by those columns, from which I can make lists by the categories).

I am also parsing the link titles, extracting the posting year, and making a separate column for that as well.

I will not devote all my time to it.

With other things I am doing it will be ?????? days before I am done.

Along the way I will add any new posts you put up.

Let you know how goes it.
