Actually, getting digest form means you get *all* the nonsense in the same message, and you have to dig through the whole thing to find *anything* you want to read.
Then, if you want to reply to it, you have to do heavy-duty editing (or subject everyone else to receiving the whole digest, too). Here's a much better suggestion: Members understand that they need to take all off-topic discussions private (that is, off the list). This is enforced by the moderators, who can warn, put on moderation*, suspend or even expel a repeat offender. [*] Putting someone on moderation means that he or she can't just post directly to the list. Everything he or she wants to send to the list is actually emailed to the moderator, who has to personally approve it before it actually appears on the list. Happy New Year!
