I agree with the recently expressed views from Guido about the desirability
of breaking up digests. I know that the purpose of a digest is to put things
together. However, I expect that many other people have the same problem
that I have. Lines 321 - 347 of a 600 line digest are the ones which are
really useful. Of course, one can save it and then delete the unwanted lines.
The purpose of using computers though is to save trivial effort.

Having said that, I'm very glad to receive the stuff at all, and would like
to express my thanks to the unsung heroes and heroines who put in all the
back-stairs work. The gripes which you get are a good example of praising
with faint damns.
