I hope most of you already know that the two aren't mutually exclusive. For a good example, take a look at the Minolta Mailing List. www.minmail.com It has an excellent web-based format, makes separate "real-time" emails and it digests all messages into one per day. In my opinion this is the best system there is." ------------------------------------------ My experience has been different from Dan's. I find the Minolta Mailing List and the Digest more time consuming to read than the Nikon Digest. I have been lurking on these lists, and the Pentax and Canon lists, for about 9 months and find the Nikon Digest the easiest (and least frustrating) to read. I am on AOL and may not know how to read the Minolta list the best way. I read on line and have to hit the back arrow (and wait) to get back to the list after each message. I get the Minolta digest and find I have to search on the message title while with the Nikon Digest I search on the message number...much easier for a bad typist! I also like the 20 to 30 message digests (Nikon) better than the 75 to 100 message digests (Minolta). I hope we can find a home that will keep the digest in its current form. Jerry
