Subject: Re: Old Fool search news
Mark,

I will try to set something up. I have a csv file with 280,008 MI posts from 19980408 to 20220923 (about 0.5G). Access to the datahelper database (about 2.5G) and the code to help with the logic would be helpful. Thanks again for the many years of the excellent datahelper search.

FYI - Mark no longer follows the board, so he is unlikely to respond to your post.

Another frequent poster asked if I would contact Mark and see if he would be interested in updating the code as a paid gig. Long story short - Mark would be interested (as of 3/17/25)

I throw this out there as another option if you are pressed for time.

Also remember that Jamie (Griton) volunteered his server as a host. (https://www.shrewdm.com/MB?pid...)

I hope you have contacted him about getting access to the code and database as he offered in the OP. The poster I previously mentioned had emailed Mark with his offer, but never heard back, so email may be problematic. If you have not done so already, I would suggest contacting him via phone (https://www.yelp.com/biz/data-...)

I've talked with Mark a few times and he is easy to reach and very friendly on the phone.

Hope this is helpful. And I'm so glad you are intent on preserving the knowledge cataloged in DataHelper.

Charlie
