Yes. Exactly. Sorry I think I may have been thinking I was
replying to PA Bear who uses Outlook Express (OE).
You're still using the old version of the web interface to newsgroups
where the search is usually useless.
The new version doesn't allow any search expressions as Google Groups
does but it is still remarkably useful even with just those 5 words.
However, the simplest search given the information from my hint
would have been:
http://www.google.com/search?q=ramesh+%22mark+of+the+web%22
