Sinister: DIGEST LENGTHS

Had a few people commenting that their mailboxes are being swamped by all
you enthusiastic mailers this week and some are even leaving us!  Shame,
but just to remind people that if they can't cope they can subscribe
instead to the "digest" version of the list: single mail messages with
multiple postings to the list - details on the WWW page.

I also asked for comments on digest length: well not many people commented
and reaction was mixed, but on balance I've decided the majority want
smaller, more frequent digests.  I've therefore asked my list to generate
digests every 1200 lines, approximately 20 messages as a balance to try.
Please let me know what you think, either by mailing me direct or
(preferably) using the Comments form on my WWW page.  And please tell me
if the digest doesn't appear to be doing what it's told as I may not
notice.

It's probably also worth asking people to post a little more stuff a
little less frequently, but I wouldn't dare as I'm as guilty as anyone
just know - posting all sorts of rubbish to keep myself amused while I get
well.  Sorry!  I will try to lay off a bit.  But I think if people want to
tell us where they are and what they do - well you're welcome but tack it
on the end of something B&S-ish next time you post.

OK?
Paul
