I'm sorry, but it really isn't enough to just ignore the posts. They fill my inbox and become another pile of stuff to filter through trying to find the email I really need/want to read.

I feel as though this discussion happened already, quite recently, and it's just the same thing again. No one is convincing anyone. It all started with the simple announcement about a lecture, and then some snarky comments re sparked this entire discussion. Yuck.

Questions:
#1) Is it possible to recieve a daily digest of this list instead of each individual message? Like you can do with yahoo groups. Then I wouldn't mind all the junk so much.

#2) Is there a facebook equivalent of this list? Those are nice, because when you don't have time, you don't bother to look. If you don't comment, you don't see the whole discussion unless you really go looking for it. I would appreciate the discussion, even the repeated discussion, that happens here a lot more if it were not in my email.
