Does the digest give you less to read? (I've no idea what a digest
is like, and I've always assumed it just combines all the mail in
one long message.) I read mail at my leisure time (whenever I want
to get a break from my work). Hence individual messages are in fact
more convenient and easier to copy with, for at any given time
there're only a couple of them. Moreover, most, if not all, users on
the three TB lists are using TB, so the messages are well-threaded,
making it easy to ignore a thread that don't interest me (yes, I
miss the "Ignore" function in newsreaders, but at least I can mark a
thread read easily).

I certainly didn't mean that. :( Your participation is welcome
regardless what subscription mode you're in.
