13 digests in 6 hours that say the exact same thing.
This is why I hate the mail list and never use it anymore.
So, please do NOT respond to this. All of us know your opinion
already.
You're using Windows, aren't you... No one in their right mind would
subscribe to a multi-threaded list in digest mode if their mail
client can sort by thread. No amount of narcotics will make deleting
a few hundred messages every month harder than weeding through
digests trying to track a single thread.
Personally, I'd be very willing to bet that the majority of people
who don't like mailing lists don't like them (at least partially)
because they can't sort by thread like us Mac people can. Sort by
thread is way better than a digest could ever be, and the digest even
significantly detracts from the power of the list itself. I don't
want to wait any amount of hours for a 25 messages to go through when
the answer to my question was number 6, especially at crunch time.
Don't want to read a particular thread? Just click on the header for
the thread and type command-shift-u. Mark all as read, and move on.
Go Apple!
And, of course, I can't leave out the open source community - Go
Mozilla!
Those of you who are still getting digests are not getting the most
out of the mailing list. If I didn't have sort by thread, I would
switch to the forums. But with sort by thread, and then with
Spotlight searching my RB documents and my mail and everything else
instantly, any forum simply can not measure up. I can type "get
process list osx" in Spotlight, and it returns every RB program I've
ever written that has that code, and it returns the mail messages
that helped me get them done, and nothing more that I have to weed
through. Try doing that on a forum.
Nice programming with you all,
