Because it is easier to read if all the info on one topic is all
together even if information on the topic was posted over a 3 week
period. when you sort on the subject it is all there together. When
you click on the date header it is all in order by date, when you click
onsender, you will see all the posts of that that person made that you
haven't deleted yet. It really is farther reaching than just ads on the
list, it is list management. IF you get digest mode, you have to save
all the digests. If you want to go back and check something on an
interesting topic, you have to go through all those digests and all the
muck is stored in them forever. With individual posts, you can sort of
subject and decide you don't need the 50 posts or so on coupons and
delete them all with one fell swoop.

However, in this case, the jet plane of the computer works just as well
to go to the local shops. It will fit 90% or more of the people that
get the list
