I completely agree with you.  I've noticed that this seems to be happenning
more frequently the past couple of months and at times I find it totally
frustrating.  Usually, the summary is never posted and I miss out on some
useful information.

If information is exchanged mostly by email then there is little reason to 
have this newsgroup.
