Encourage our MUSEUM-L list owner to save old list logs; there has been a lot of relatively timeless discussion on this list, and it's not being archived (due to policy of the institution, according to MUSEUM-L's owner, J. Chadwick; logs go back to Jan 94 only). (I could have searched for "alternat and (week or work)", for example, instead of what I used, but I happen to remember that four day work week were the relevant words. Choosing the right search words is always a guessing game of sorts.) Peter Rauch
