I missed something in my response to John Hughes. It surprises me that I
didn't notice it earlier. It *is* possible to have a digest-only group.
However, it must be a newsletter assembled by the moderator(s). Subscribers
send their emails to the moderator (not the group) and the moderator puts
them together into a newsletter and sends it out on his/her schedule. I'm
not interested in moderating such a group, that's why I didn't put it
together earlier. Are there enough volunteers out there to be able to serve
as editors of such a group?
Note that it's also possible to have both a newsletter (Glorantha APA?) and
a discussion list (Glorantha) as two separate lists. Some of us will
remember Doyle Wayne Ramos-Taverner's short lived glorantha digest
highlights series. That's how a newsletter would work, except that there
would probably be multiple moderators, each sending out APA-like digests.
They might want to organize them by topic, or some such scheme. It could
actually be extremely cool if there were enough eager volunteers to do it
right.
