<< Immediately I have received several questions about digest mode and I know nothing about it?

I have not heard from anyone regarding my post to the list asking for information.

I hope some kind listee who has digest experience would look at yesterdays post and answer the questions I put forth. I will collect the >>

I used to get the "other" bus list in digest, before I got booted off that OVERMODERATED list..... ( do you realize on the aforementioned list, they have "public floggings" where it is announced to the whole list by the "Man in the Big House" that an "offending" listmember is being canned....)

I saw no real advantage to digest, as you cannot directly respond to postings, and you get everything late. The only reason I got digest at the time was that I had compu$erve and the mailbox limit was only 100. On a busy Friday between the "other" bus list and V@L I used to lose messages on CSi before I switched servers to "wonderful" AOL..... ;<)
