I am on a lot of LowEndMac mailing lists, and I am used to seeing posts 
out of order, and people asking why it happens.  The mail server for 
those lists also sends a lot of messages that say you have to reply or 
you'll get bounced off the list, but you can ignore them and nothing 
happens.  It's free, so I guess since someone is donating time and/or 
money to running it I just don't care.  Remember having to dial up to 
BBSes?

I for one think digests are awful;  being able to search through 
individual emails is better because you don't have to scroll through a 
whole day of messages and headers to get to what you want.  I consider 
this list to be a goldmine of free reference material.
