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. --Lauren--
