unless the theory was posted as a tangent to a larger thread... we should get people to volunteer old theories they had... then search from there. After all... we have probability on our side now... 2 theories out there are right... and the volume of other theories is large, but not obscene. Chances are, also, that the poster of the correct theory felt it was a good one (it was right, after all) so it very well may have been a "pet theory" the poster had... and he/she would perhaps have felt slighted that it was ignored. If people re-posted their pet theories it may decrease the volume of the search a bit...
