Actually, there _is_ a digest, and quite a few people subscribe.  The
only difference is the name of the list, as far as subscribing goes; you
send an e-mail to majordomo at ansteorra.org , no subject line and no sig
seems to work best, saying:

unsubscribe sca-cooks
subscribe sca-cooks-digest

.

Or, if, for some reason, you want to be subscribed to both the list and
the digest list, just use the second command only.

It doesn't. I was just joshing the people that do that, since we all get
them anyway. One or two of us do it all the time, several others have
done it occasionally, and I'm always mystified by it. It's kind of like
taking out a full-page ad in the biggest newspaper in town, and
including the header, "Please disregard if you're not Oscar Bittlesham."

No, not an attack at all. Possibly a little familiar, but most of
old-timers on the list have displayed similar behavior, and perhaps I
forgot it might not look so good to a newcomer. My apologies to Lady
Bonne, and to you if my words were taken the wrong way. No harm, nor any
rudeness, intended.
