Mark,
Thanks for letting me (us) know about the possibilities out
there. Personally I am quite happy with the format; I receive
Rara-Avis in digest format, and simply scroll past posts that
don't interest me. I in fact prefer to receive them and
ignore them because, sometimes, as I scroll by I will notice
that the discussion has shifted to something entirely
different than what the subject line indicates, something
that does interest me. I am willing to put up with some stuff
that I may not like to have access to lots of stuff that I do
or potentially may like. I see filtering threads excluding me
from some interesting conversations, those ones that I
potentially might not know about. And the most emoticon-like
I get is something like ;)
But I will follow Rara-Avis to such a forum if it someday
does go there, because what happens here interests me. But I,
at least, am satisfied with the status quo.
Best, Keith Logan
