SET DIGEST
Ah, back in the classic days of computers, people didn't understand
mailing lists, and sent their mailing list commands TO THE LIST.
Are we going back to the way things used to be done?

Hopefully not on this list, but certainly on Yahoo groups
(when it was popular a few years ago) that is exactly how
many users tried to unsubscribe from the groups - usually
unsuccessfully!

I'm surprised we haven't seen a flurry of requests from new users who
aren't familiar with mailing lists. Everyone else must be using web
forums nowadays.
I've just sent a digest request, so pre-emptive apologies if it goes to
the list.

Isn't going back to the way things used to be what this list is all
about? :-)

Exactly!
For all our wishes to return to the good old days (send me back to the
1960s!), not everything was completely perfect then.
Hopefully, we won't make it back to untrimmed quoting of digests,
untrimmed flames about failure to trim in top/bottom posting flames,
"why am I receiving emails from people that I don't know?",
"UNSCRIBE ME!",
"STOPE MAILING ME",
"people in that political party worship satan",
"I was on holiday and got robbed; send money",
"have you tried cutting out gluten to cure your cancer?",
"the senate has passed a bill to tax email",
flaming the owner of the list for strange list behaviors and unfinished
repairs

We're long overdue a cars vs. guns discussion, too. And some ASCII art.

Sadly not by me, but taken from here:

It's great to see that ASCII art is still around. Perhaps even more popular
than it used to be?
