Just another vote to support what the original poster said. I, too, like
digests. I print a lot of them, circulating them to various other people
or shipping them on paper to various non-computer-equipped people. 

The digest format has been around since the mid-to-late '70s in ARPA
environments. It has been proven to work well in that electronic-mail-
oriented environment. Maybe the news-oriented environment of USENET
differs enough to counteract this experience, but I doubt it. "YES!"
to digests!
