Aucbvax.1668 fa.apollo utzoo!duke!mhtsa!eagle!ucbvax!JWALKER@BBNA Fri Jun 12 16:49:27 1981 Digests I vote not to set up a digest or moderator until we see what the reading/mail load for the list really is. In my short experience with Digests, I find that I rarely list out the digest to keep (although I would be interested in being able to keep copies of particular items on it) and I never reply to points made in the digest (although sometimes I consider it). Maybe what I am really saying is that my mail system doesn't have any mechanism for "undigesting" into components and Reply commands need a specific message in order to work meaningfully. At the moment, I would prefer to deal with the messages as they arrive. We can decide in the future whether the load of messages is too great to continue in that way.

In the meantime, I would like to vote for changing the name of the list to something more appropriate to the general topic of personal workstations.
