Doesn't that seem a bit arrogant?

Another point-of-view might be that individual emails are offered as a courtesy 
for those who don't want to wait for the digest!

>I can not imagine why anyone would use the digest...

Then perhaps you simply lack imagination! :-)

Again, arrogance!

Both modes are offered and supported. One person's assumptions about why 
another would use one mode or the other is immaterial. One person's 
condescending of another person's use is simply rude.

I really cannot comprehend this "my way, or the highway" way of thinking that 
seems so prevalent these days. Viva la differance! (Oops... sorry for using the 
language of a people who must be against us, since they aren't for us... 
whatever happened to friendly dissent...)
