Why? Simply reply to the DIGEST and alter the header accordingly. People
can then kill sub threads as appropriate. But then you knew that.
A digest also has the advantage that a reader can browse down the single
article and pick things of interest as opposed to killing all Roy's
posts.
Remember : this is the ONLY ng that this happens in. All other sites,
info sources send a single post/digest.
Simple really.
