"Digest" should have been strangled in its crib. Its only discernible
trait is its ability to 
encourage clueless list behaviours, thereby annoying the clueful :-)

But seriously, folks; on quite a few listservs over quite a few years, I
have implored 
"Digest" users to explain to me what advantages they feel it confers on
them, and so far
n0t a single one of them has ever come up with anything even remotely
plausible, beyond
the questionable ability to live in denial about how many email messages
they're getting....
