Another issue is that some people use the digest while others do not. This seems to create a new thread named the same thing when replying from the digest. So far as I have been able to ascertain, nothing can be done about this other than rounding up all the digest users and flogging them with wet noodles. Then the problem becomes, some might like it. ;-)
After 60 years on this planet I have come to see that many (if not most) people do not do things the way they do because it "makes sense" or is the most efficient or useful way to do it. They do things "their way" simply because it IS "their way." That is why no one will ever seriously make any progress changing the world, either in small ways or big ones.
