In a similar vein, any chance that the forge could offer a "digest"
version--one that consolidates all the messages into just one message
each day. It still gives you the ability to participate in
conversations, but cuts down considerably on the housekeeping a
subscriber has to do.  I subscribe to several other list servers which
offer this format and it is very helpful to those of us who are trying
to use this electronic medium to its fullest.
