Re: Digest, e-mail, or web site?

December 28, 2005

Sierra,

I agree with you...that is what I started doing...its so much faster

to read from the site. That way I skip what does not interest me. I

still have my e-mail set to digest..that way I have all the messages

saved incase I need to refer back to something.

Subject: Digest, e-mail, or web site?

I highly recommend reading messages by going to the group's home page, where they are all neatly organized and very easy to read or skip. I've tried both e-mail and digest methods of group participation, and will never go back to either.Sierra>> Concerning Message 3 from the latest digest.> ""> Message: 3 > Date: Wed, 28 Dec 2005 08:20:38 -0800 (PST)> From: Jack McGuire <jackmcguire_2000@y...>> Subject: Using this list for RA information is getting tedious> ""> > Before anyone jumps on Jack, on the list or privately or anyone gets their feelings hurt.

For those of us with dial-up or cell phone internet, it takes a long time to download. It is also really hard to find the start of the individual emails in the list of emails from the past couple of days or more. For those of you how do not know what a digest format looks like, I would be more than happy to post one to the list. Jack is expressing the same frustration I have with the clutter on the digests, and not just this group. I have been on other lists where the list moderator steps in to kindly help list members learn to trim their posts, this is a positive thing.

Here's the link I saved to get to the home page. I hope it's right.

God bless.
