I might be a bit late with this news as I'm only getting the (huge) digest version, but...
Yep, Mark made this point to me privately - the first digest *was* huge. Traffic on the list has died down a little after the first rush, and my feeling is that a digest any more frequently than once a day would annoy some people - but I'm happy to do whatever people think. So if people on the digest would like to let me know how often they would like it to be produced - I can limit this by days or by size. I'll do whatever the majority of digest people ask for, but please only digest subscribers vote - and directly to me rather than cluttering up the list! On the subject of Edinburough (sic) and stephen.b - your list administrator lives there and likes it normally except during August when it fills up with Oxbridge students pretending to be trees - but he's not the sulky type. I've had lots more comments on the subject of "relevancy" of the list - thanks for your feedback. Things have got a bit quieter now and a bit more sensible apart from the "pig" mailing (thanks for that it was a gift to my cause! - if anyone wants *more* of that type of mail let me know?!). The majority view is still to try to stick to B&S related stuff, with some very strong (and amusing) feelings from some in that direction, but there *are* people who disagree and want a wider spread of views. I think things look sensible now, but I will continue to reflect the majority view of people who mail me privately about it - I promise. Oh and I'll put Alan's chords on the WWW page when I get a minute. Enough for now. Paul email: sinister-owner@ph.ed.ac.uk ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
