I would not mind a space-enthusiasts type digests, i.e. automatically formed, add-me requests & occasional duplicates and all, with no editorial "moderation" ala human-nets, and hence minimum time drain for the maintainer. This also guarantees reasonably fast redistribution (limited by the number of submissions, not by the moods of the maintainer) and lack of censorship, things that some people have expressed concern about. I just want the stuff to come to me once a day in a bunch. Secondly, I don't consider lack of undigestification software on the unix news system to be a valid reason for not going digest. It's such a trivial thing to do. They have several thousand people using the thing, let somebody write the 1 page program that's needed and distribute it to all the sites. In any case, that shouldn't affect the decision for the whole list, they can always stay direct as a special (hardship?) case.
