That's what I do since half of what everyone talks about concerning code is beyond me :) However, it is good to see the focus of the discussions even when I don't understand the details. And you are right. Dries and others are very good about using good subject lines for announcements. It's easy to pick them up from the list of messages at the beginning of the digest. One thing that might help, though, is that sometimes the development list is very, very active and many digests go out during the day. For those following along, one digest a day is good, but more might not really be necessary. For mailman, set the "How big in Kb should a digest be before it gets sent out?" parameter for digest a lot higher than it currently is. "Should a digest be dispatched daily when the size threshold isn't reached?" should definitely be set to yes. Charlie Lowe
