I'll think on the weekend off version. It'll be interesting. :) The big problem I had with the new digests was that you can't have a single digest a day with a huge list like CF-Talk. It gets really messy with timeouts and such. I think the slowest I'm setting it for this list is 4 times a day. Other lists can have it as once a day. Again, not perfect but better than what's here now.
