But why should people be forced to change the way they receive the list,
just to accommodate commercial advertisements (which arguably have no place
here)? It is clear that it is better for you to receive the messages
individually, rather than in digest form, but others may prefer to receive
them all at once. To use your analogy, jet planes may be all well and good,
but a horse and buggy is more useful for popping down to the local shops -
different people have different needs, so one solution cannot suit
everybody. Incidentally, I receive the messages from this list
individually, and sort them into their own folder as they arrive, but I
don't see why everyone should be forced to do it this way.
As an aside, is your way really the biggest user of our new-fangled
technology? At your end, sure, but at the distribution end surely it is
more complicated to accumulate messages all day and then send them together,
rather than send each message on as it arrives?

There are only a few people that really need to get it in digest mode.
There are a lot of advantages to receiving it in individual messages.
Most obvious is you can delete individual posts. You can sort so all
the topics on one thread are together, You can set up folders and sort
messages into the folders automatically. If you want to keep messages
on a certain thread, you can save them and delete non relevent
messages. Hell, I am on another couple of lists that really make this
one look like a piker....I get on the average 75 to 80 emails a day on
each of them, and only 5 to 20 on this one. There wouild be no way to
be able to handle that volume of email if I got them in digest mode. We
have the technology, we should use it, not be tied to horse and buggys
in the days of jet airplanes.
