Hi Francis,
I think you can only do daily digests but that would at least help the
problem!
Though you were one of us who sent our chosen numbers to the whole
list... :-)

Thirded, but then there are many topics discussed in this forum where
the signal-to-noise ratio is a fractional number very close to zero. The
result is (integer) n>>1 to-and-fro wibblings that clog inboxes, and
force me to quit my email client so that I can get on with work, free of
distractions. Isn't this sort of thing best left to Twitter, where it
will not trouble those of us who have better things to do with our time?
I'm minded to switch my PSI-COM subscription to a weekly digest format,
if that is indeed possible.
Francis
(grumpy, and unapologetically so!)

I am risk of sounding like a right grump here but is there any
chance that you could all respond directly to Colin? This is clogging up
my inbox a little and is a bit of pain.
Sorry!
