The whole discussion on this subject has been directed towards those who
receive the list directly.  The digest is a different experience, because
it arrives as a single (sometimes two) very long e-mail(s).  Essentially
you have to space down through thousands of lines, looking for the nuggets
of truth and value.  This is also why multiple levels of past messages can
get irritating

I used to be a digester because I got tired of all the "You have received
mail" notices.  So I finally told my mail thingy (microsoft but I think they
all have the option) to quit telling me about it and got rid of the digest.
Now I just check in occasionally to see what's up.  Probably not for
everyone John, but you might give it a try, you can always go back
to the digest.
