How to find archived threads?

Is there a TB protocol for locating threads started by particular posters? Posts responding to other threads I can find, but if I want a list of threads posted by __________, how do I cull those from all the threads ever begun on TB?
Go to that poster's profile page. Click on the "Postings" tab. Don't stop at the earliest (actually latest chronologically) four or five of them that appear, scroll all the way down. The two clickable options that you'll notice at the bottom are
Find all content by _______ • Find all threads by _______
Click on the latter and there you go.
Of course, if the poster in question is a prolific thread-starter, and especially if (s)he is a very active seller in the classifieds, you'll have to wade through a bunch of results and even whole pages of them, but on the average it's a quick operation. If you have an idea of when that thread was started it's even faster.
