	~~It may be prudent to search~~ the archives before posting a new topic to the ThinkTank; over the years much has been discussed on a wide variety of topics relevant to community bike shops. For instance, a quick search for "liability", a frequent topic introduced by those new to the list and in the process of starting new collectives, cooperatives, or just community-run shops in general, yields 37 pages of previous discussion, a great deal of which is redundant. A search for "insurance" yields 52 pages of discussion, though due to new insurance companies coming into existence and old ones exiting, that discussion over time may be more or less relevant depending on age.		===Searching the Archive===
