Hello Goat Mom,
I'm not sure why you have not been able to reach me... I've never received any calls from you or email for that matter. Are you sure you are calling the right telephone number? (417) 443-7625? We have alot of calls per day and sometimes the answering machine picks up instead. I do know that quite a people call and are reluctant to leave messages. You can also try my email at gary@goatworld.com
For those still wondering about getting the old messages - at the top of the Message Forum there is a little icon graphic that says "find what you need here". If you click on this it will take you a page that allows you to search GoatWorld. If you have a certain topic, let's say "bottle baby", simply type that in the search form and hit enter. It will return a listing of all pages that contain your search topic. Messages are clearly marked - User Posted Messages.
The knowledge base is essentially the same thing only it is indexed by alphabetic character and will take longer to load.
In the very near future I am going to be archiving and making available the entire batch of messages in the form of a zip file. Visitors to the Message Forum can then download the zip file and keep them on their computer for quick, offline reference. And for those worried about viruses - yes, the zip file archive will be scanned and virus free.
Best regards,
Gary Pfalzbot
