For what it might be worth, I think I can copy and paste a subject from a digest. 
Yeah, I will occasionally be a doofus and forget to do that, but ok, crucify me,
nobody is perfect.  I'm in a position where I really can't tolerate the traffic
anymore - I have two choices, hit delete 50 times a day or just unsub.  

Why?  because we can't have a digest?  ????  REALLY?  C'mon people.  Please please
please let's have a digest available for those of us that are interested and want
mostly to read and respond to a few. P-L-E-A-S-E ????
