Just curious (and forgive me if this is one of those holy war kind of questions - I don't mean to be flame-bait). Is there a reason this is a mailing list instead of a newsgroup?
Because some of us prefer mail lists to newsgroups?
Actually, a better question might be - where is (or why isn't there) a newsgroup gateway for the list?
(Getting 3+ digests per day (unthreaded) is kind of cumbersome and doesn't seem like the most efficient system....) I just joined the digest list a week or so ago, and it's been very useful, but a bit awkward to read through.
About the only problem I have is the loss of headers in the digest version, and that's minor. Of course, my mail reader quite happily bursts and threads the digests for me with a couple of keystrokes.
