I spent 3 days at the beach, came home and found over a dozen Quattro
digests waiting. I deleted all of them. I've only been on this list about 3
weeks but have found most posts to be of limited content. Flame me if you
must, but it's just my opinion, based on my experiences with other digest's
I'm on. There seems to be an unbearable amount of 3500 word posts, copied and
re-posted in their entirety, followed by "I agree with you 100%", or something
equally breif, and usually from more than one person. Makes reading them a
chore I wasn't up to, so they hit the recycling bin because if I'd saved them
for reading at a later date, I would have had another dozen just like them.
Flame away....
