The people that like digests seem to like them because they are easily
printed.  Why couldn't somebody that likes printing out articles create
a program that would take a news group, a set of related articles(same
subject or parent chaining) and create one article suitable for printing.
This way people who are ready the articles on line can take advantage of
there news software without have them hacked apart to understand digests.
