Oh yes!  I might add that many of the advantages of "digests" which
I mentioned could also be accomplished *without* digests (that is,
leaving all messages separate) so long as the verbose newsgroups
were at least *moderated*.  In this case, the moderator who receives
the original messages would simply redistribute (to the entire net)
individual messages, instead of editing them into a single digest.
Some of the larger ARPA mailing lists that are not digests currently
operate in this mode -- having a moderator greatly reduces the
network-wide distribution of repetitious messages and the like.
