Yes, duly noted, and thanks (g).

I've always preferred digests for all my elists, mainly to not clutter up my mail app with 
thousands of posts, as I subscribe to about 10 of them.  I can save the digests, each in their 
own mailbox, have them available locally for research, and they don't take up as much room. 
The cons would be that one can be late in responding to a post as it might have come in 
hours before, but except for that, I can't think of any other disadvantages.

cheers,
