Is it only a Southern Hemisphere kink that we prefer mailing lists to
digests of same, web based forums and RSS feeds?
Used to be that when there was time, typically on airplanes it was
possible to go through the posts and "infilter" the topics which
relate to our business. I sorely lack that Manifold background keep
up to date availability, at my convenience.
Cheers,
