It may come as a shock to you, but some of us disagree with you. Some
of us like digests because (a) they often group comments on a subject
which would otherwise dribble in over several days, and (b) some of the
most blatent nonsense is omitted or at least identified as such by the
moderator. I would not be in favor of only moderated groups and
digests, but I am happy with the choice. Go stamp out something else.

PS: there are a number of tools for undigestification if you wish to
use them, complaining that rn doesn't do what you (personally) want is
like saying that your screwdriver doesn't drive nail well. This is not
to say that enhancements aren't welcome, I just don't think they're
*needed*.
