> I must also object here jim. It is not uncommon for more then two
discussions to be happenning at the same time on the list. Aside from that,
it is also not uncommon for people to go back and forth on an issue, the
recent debate of Pecunix is an example. The only thing that I see a quota
doing is limiting discussion which ironically contradicts the idea of a
discussion list. Am I wrong here?

Jim,
Yes I agree too. I must admit I delete a lot of the posts on this list
without even reading them - I have no interest in gold coins or casions for
example - but there are also some really interesting threads which will be
severely limited by this restriction. I don't think there were too many
posts before so I don't really see a need for a limit at all. Did somebody
complain?
As regards digest versions... I think human nature will make them almost
always unreadable, and then there's the issue of doing so much cutting and
pasting if you want to reply to something, changing the subject line back to
match the thread etc...
It's much better just to do what I do and subscribe to the full version
using a dedicated free email account. Then when you are travelling or really
busy you don't get bothered by any postings from any list, but when you have
time you can go through everything... gmx (www.gmx.net) for example is
perfect for this because it allows access via both POP3 and webmail.
Respectfully,
offshoresurfer
