Normally I think the introductions are nice.  We've just gotten a recent
surge of subscriptions...it seemed like a lot more because of the mail
loop.

Majordomo supports both, I like getting the mail as it comes in, but it'd
be nice if there was a ids-digest@uow.edu.au.  That way you could have a
choice...it's pretty easy to do this with Majordomo.

It's normally a LOW volume list, it just seems high because of all the looping.
And the recent surge of intros.  Watch and you'll see it dies down pretty
quickly.
