Well...

If there are 8 messages in the digest and someone quotes all 8 messages in
their reply then the mail volume for the server goes up. Remember, it has to
copy to all of us. In this example  the server forwards 9X content per
message instead of 2X.

The reason Paul put the server in digest mode was to slow the message
updates and ease the workload on the server (and himself).

Quoting 4+ e-mails for each reply soundly defeats the purpose of running in
digest mode.

        Mike,
             in the year i've been following the list it seems easier to
just get on the immediate form and look at it once a day than count on
anyone else to make your life easier.
             just a thought.......steve #1131
