You get all of the messages in = one (or more) group (s) instead of 100 messages individually. = Reason, you can page down through one digest a whole lot faster than = opening, closing and or deleting a bunch of individual messages. I = don't read my E-mail everyday and it's nice just to have 10 digests = waiting for me rather than 600 messages. Besides that I use my work = E-mail account and I don't want to risk discarding work messages with a = block of LUG messages. Second, save multiple digests to a single file and if you use Windows, = view them in MS word or something. You can page through a single = document faster than you can open and close individual ones. If you = want to respond to something, and are using windows, you can cut the = block out and paste it directly into your E-mail program. Thirdly, with the digest you aren't interrupted by incoming messages = all of the time. If you think the LUG is bad, I subscribed to another = list from RIT that was supposed to be primarily for photo-educators. = (If my schedule wasn't already full enough, I'm teaching a college = level class this spring.) Anyhow.... It was a novice / what kind of = battery does my camera use or I found this camera in the closet and I = don't know how to use it kind of list and the traffic was unbelievable, = I got over 400 messages the first day and they all seemed to come in = as I was working.... interrupting me. It took me a week before I was = able to get off the list. Lastly: the more lists you subscribe to..... the more irritated you'll = be by the increased volume of the LUG and off-topic threads. I'm down = to two lists and will drop the other soon. DISCLAIMER: Your Software may work differently than mine but..... = this is by far the fastest way to read lots of info with mine.
