Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Re: A posting style request? Maybe trim off multiple copies of reply

A. Censor,

I see/read 100-700 individual emails every day.
Such a count of emails does not hinder me at all.

However, I found that if I receive 'digests' of emails that it takes me much
longer to read all the emails because, then *I* would be searching through
digests looking for individual emails.

This way (individual emails) most emails are 'scan top of emails', click 'reply'
or click 'delete' or click 'save' and I'm on to the next email.
As you might guess, bottom posters are a significant delay in reading their email.

I.E.individual emails are much faster than spending my time scanning a digest,
looking for individual emails.
