I wish some email digest being available. Unfortunately, only Topica has
provided it so far, and it has coughed digests on a irregular basis
since Dec 1 or so.
RDS? When will you provide this facility (group posts in emails: last 10
(say), or last in the prev 12h (say), whichever takes place first)?
I like to look at posts from office. The computers are in a network
behind various security filters. As a result, getting individual emails
would cause the sender to be blocked as spam. And I don't have any RSS
facility - opening the rss link displays an xml file. I think I'm not
the only one who consults the posts from work, but donesn't own the
computer so as to allow large emmailing or enabling RSS.
The web interface is still available. But I have to "next" from one post
to the other (takes time), can't glance at a group of posts fast (which
I can with digest headers), and it is very difficult to pick up where
you left when there's a large amount of posts in a short period of time
- and it is precisely in this circumstance that you need to follow stuff
closely.

I never found a pedantic post here, apart perhaps from a couple of guys
never seen since like 3 years. What do you mean?

Me too. But the function must return something when given a file without
the info.
