Digest format helps make net traffic more efficient (one large message as opposed to many small ones), is usually less redundant, and topics for discussion can be better defined. I think we could get this out of a digestified INFO-MICRO and not lose as long as the "intended" topics of discussion for the bboard remain open-ended. INFO-MICRO has acted very successfully as a catch-all for random info tidbits about micros. That is something I would not like to see change. If anyone would like to argue this point please reply to me, I guess we should keep from cluttering up INFO-MICRO. The consensus will be made known if some conclusion is reached. (ron) -------
