Re: Re: Re: RE: Moderator Duties

[Guest guest]

I learned about digests on the main OSSG list. WHOA! 1000+ emails a

day. And this was in big gobs of digests. I turned it off back in 1998

when I moved and never turned it back on. LOL! Switched to individual

and left it that way. And everybody was to new to edit their digests.

Including me.

So individual it is. Much easier to read. If the thread is not of

interest, poof, gone. No one takes offense, no one knows, and it has

taken me about 3 secs to decide that's not interesting to me. OR that

it's a one liner, I smile and move on. SO much faster.
