Here's the original posting:
(begins)
I'd like to hear any views for and against making this list a digest one;
that is, instead of every posting going to subscribers as soon as it is
recieved (unless your mailserver is misbehaving and it bounces: this
happens) they will be held back and sent in batches. FWIU this is three
times a day.
This is our first RFC: Request For Comment.
There would be no reduction in posting content, there would merely be fewer,
larger postings. This would make no difference to me, I think, but other
lists do it (so I am told) so tell me what you think...
I, as one of the list's co-owners, wouldn't have liked this to happen during
the list's infancy: having to wait until the nest mass-posting to check if
test messages made it to the list would have been unbearable. However, we
seem to have the basic bugs worked out; it's time to cause some more!
In short, I know that three list members are in favour of this digest thing
(they've told me), so my feeling is that if we have no serious objections,
we'll start implementing it. I'd like to know more about it before going
ahead, personally, because if it causes problems I'll have to help fix it!
(ends)
Could we have votes for/against now?
Regards, Andrew Boyd
