This request for a digest has come around before. My personal view is
to leave well enough alone. Putting com-priv into a digest would
mean I'd have to read all these message at one sitting, sifting through
the dreck to get the few good comments. This sifting is easy enough
to do now as single messages. Dealing with a digest is unworkable.
However, if someone wants *add* a digest of all these messages and deliver
both what we have now as well as a digest to those that want it, that's
a different story.
To produce both the single message list and a digest might be more
trouble than the folks at PSI want. I can see where some people would
prefer to slog through a daily digest. But for me, that's just too
big a chunk of time to spend at one sitting.
