Not only that, but it creates much more work for you if you see something that you want to comment back on. You have to edit out all of the other messages and change the subject of your message, etc. It won't thread right with everyone else either, because your message ID won't be the same as the OP of that particular message your replying to. If there's more than one to reply to, the work is obviously multiplied again. Of course, we've all seen examples of those who don't bother to do any of that and just reply to the digest message with digest subject and all of the messages left intact. They go on the ignore list immediately. Single individual message filtered into a folder maintain the proper subject and message ID and will thread properly. You look through the Elecraft folder and kill what you don't want, keep what you do, and reply to what you want if you want to. Better housekeeping, and it doesn't cause extra work for others when your message doesn't thread right or have the right subject line.
