Guest guest Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Hi Gang! Geoff here. **IF** you subscribe to the digest version of the list several things happen: PROS: You get 1, or at most 2 emails a day. The emails contains all of that day's postings, up to about 25. Over 25 or so and they send another. This reduces volume significantly. When you click 'Reply' the reply email goes to the list, not the individual. The digest contains " complete " messages, but in text form. This means they cannot spread viruses. Digests are: Small; Fast to load; and Quick to read or scan You have a better sense of the ebb and flow of the list. CONS: If you want to reply to an individual, but not the group, you have to make the effort intentionally. When you reply for the group, you have to delete the parts the do not reference your comments, lest your message include the entire digest. :: I started by subscribing to individual emails. It was overwhelming. I had no life and my entire emotional day was spent concentrating on this wretched disease. I switched to the digest and found it gave me better perspective. Instead of spending all of my emotional currency on pain, I had some left for love, joy and the other aspects of life -- in other words, balance. I was also better able to manage the other areas of my life, including brining some small contribution to the list. Food for thought, Geoff Acts 2:39 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
