Given that this list deals with both UV and UD, and that UV can be of multiple flavors (and syntaxes, or syntaxi?) One of the benefits of all answers to all recipients is that if one of those answers isn't quite right, or not the best fit, others can chime in on why or why not. Granted on other summary lists I have belonged, There are the occasisonal ammended summaries, but with the all to all, it feels more like a group, with the dynamics that go along with the group. The only problem is there is no real-time facilitator to keep the conversation from going astray. Often, just in the replies there are hints to other issues that are in the back of my mind just echoing to get out, but if only a summary with the parts of the replies that dealt with that problem were posted, those hints may never have the benefit of being helpful.
