I hear you about the clutter but I find the downside with digests is
that they are impractical for searching. Filtering the posts into
mailboxes keeps the clutter down. I receive several lists that I
glance through daily but I search these lists fairly often with
questions that already been addressed. With digests, I have to search
_within_ each "match" to if there's anything its relevant. I seldom
do that. With individual posts the subect line shows for all of the
individual emails that match making the whole process more
productive. If you run behind on upgrades and the latest news like I
do, you can avoid some of the frustration others have muddled
through. The "market" seems to rely, partially, on consumers'
inability to compare notes. That's not an aspect of the market I
enjoy participating in. The emails I collect, which total a mere 1.2
GB for 5 years, are my notes. Rob D.
