I for one have no idea how Mark has put up with us for this long.
Thanks and a tip o' the hat!
I have mentioned this before, but I think it deserves mentioning
again: usenet newsgroups. Yes, they have their problems, and not
everyone gets them, but they do serve a purpose. There may be a place
for rec.autos.british[.mg|.triumph] to handle the daily chit-chat that
used to occur on the real-time mail lists. The digest could then
serve as a place for the more detailed, obtuse, or technical
discussions. And those who can't get usenet would still have the
digest.
There are precedents for this. The music group Rush has both a
newsgroup and a digest. So do the homebrewers.
