Hello Martha in Washington: I don't have helpful information about receiving a digested version of the exchanges here but I have looked at archived discussions that can be accessed through (Wayne's) Lute Page. Some of the discussions here can tend toward the upper edges of the tiresome meter, but there is normally an abundance of good information posted by some of the leading specialists in the field. I just use the delete button to maintain my blood pressure when it seems others are getting a bit huffy. I could stand a little less of the guttersnipe language though.
