Martin writes, <I must point out that, for those of us on "digest" (maybe only me?), it's an absolute nightmare trying to sort out who is writing what. The tendency of some members to "top post" (without even pruning the quoted text) and of other members to include adverts and ruddy great thirty line "signatures" makes it difficult to figure out what half the posts are about. So I don't even try.>
I don't blame you -- it's NOT just you who would experience this in digest mode. That's also why I don't subscribe to any of my lists in digest mode. Given the choice, I'd rather have my inbox flooded with a zillion individual emails that I can read and respond to (or delete, LOL) individually than one big email with posts by top posters, people who don't know how (or are too lazy) to edit, or who put ads/ginormous sig lines in their posts, and so on. I tried digest mode once (on a different list, a long time ago), and it took me about a week or so to change back to "regular" mode -- for exactly these same reasons you cite, plus it was a PITA to reply in addition to all that. So, what are you still doing on digest mode anyway? ;-) ~Yersinia. ________ "The early worm gets eaten by the bird, so sleep late." ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
