I think it is a brilliant idea. A smart digest pre-processor that is. Let's call
her VICTORIA...perhaps?

So what you have in mind is that all the questions of the day would be
summarized with and condensed with all the answers of the day.
Or perhaps a group of questions that span 2 or 3 days.

It would be a good project (for someone) to develop an automated process/script
 that does a lot of the pre-processing and then a human editor would give it the
final edit
before sending out. So either SELMA needs to get a lot smarter... or a human
editor needs
to do a lot of work compiling the digest every week.

I heard that Larry Wall (author of PERL) originally wrote PERL to solve a
problem with
reporting and summarizing activities and sundry items on a news group.

AND SINCE we KNOW that REBOL (even in its infancy) is smarter (less
linquistically challenged)
-- than PERL, so it could easily be done.

Now it just needs a few volunteers to figure out how to parse and categorize all
the daily mail....
