Why so many of these?

[n4dsp]

This is the fifth time today that I have received the reflector digest. Is
there something going on?

Did you get a whole digest or are you referring to posts with digest
in the subject header? Unfortunately, many digest readers on most
reflectors rarely edit the subject before replying to messages in the
digest they received.

It's been going on since the beginning of reflectors and will continue
til the end.

Not to mention that replying to a digest at all breaks the threading of
any included messages since the digest is it's own message thread, and
not a part of (or related to) the combination of threaded messages it
contains.

Using digest is not really very useful or friendly for anyone intending
to actively take part in threaded message discussions, as replies to it
break threading and fragment the discussion.
