This having raised its weary head on the all new HQ list, I'll bring it up in the proper place.
There has been a certain number of complaints, from a seemingly small number of people, that the Digest may not be run in the best possible manner. Specifically, there are two complaints. First, that the list is too dry, esoteric, scary, or whatever. Secondly, that the enforced lumping of e-mails into digests is too difficult to work with.
Now personally, I don't see the problem. The First is only a function of those who choose to post, and without turning this entirely moderated, I don't see a way of solving this. I believe that turning this fully moderated would cause more problems than it solves. The second is the price of slowing down the rate of discussion, which I believe leads to a better signal to noise ratio here than on the other lists.
Never the less, I am only the keeper of the group flame, not its master. What do others think?
I can see several possible changes :
Of these, I see 5 as preferable, but could be convinced by 2 and 3. 1 and 4 will take a *LOT* to convince me of the benefits. But I am trying to keep an open mind here.
Over to you...
Cheers,
Graham
