I dont know about anyone else... but... I used to
subcsribe to the digest, and boy do those get
long. It was not uncommon for it to be 40 or 50
pages and there are four or five a day. Well over
half of that content is duplicates or the advertising
at the bottom or each post. This gets really old
reading fast. Either I would print them out so I
could easily see where the true content was easily, or
I would just endlessly hit page down and miss a post
every now and then. It is simple courtesy to clip the
extra off. I for one wish everyone would take the
time to do it.

Also on the "high level song by Brussco" I thought
they were just being cute...
