Digest mode isn't very popular. I dropped it the second I was no longer VV chair. When I was VV chair, I subscribed because I needed to make sure everything was working properly. I read the individual posts an did a quick check on the digest to make sure it was working. I still read the individual posts today, but since I'm not in charge, I'm really quick on the delete key. Off topic, not interesting, no reason to waste my time reading.
I was a member of the Corvair forum from about the time Dick started it for a couple of years. I don't like the pull concept at all. I like the push concept of the VV's and Fastvairs. I don't visit any pull concept lists for any of my hobbies, but do receive many push lists. Some people like chocolate ice cream and others like vanilla. I like the VV list and don't like the Corvair Center at all.
