I actually prefer this format. I was receiving the digest and I was just about to unsub because of the fact that not many people seem to understand the cut&paste response. Instead, it was constant scrolling through multiple generations of the post and its many replies. I only received the digest home, so at the end of the day I read the topics of the day wading thru all the topics I had no interest in and trying to scroll quickly thru the previous posts attached to the new posts. It got tiresome and I couldn't quickly jump down the digest to the topic I was interested in.
I opted for the digest because I didn't want to come home at the end of the day to find hundreds of emails sitting in the inbox.
I find this format allows me to quickly scan the topics and jump to the ones of interest.
IMO a very good move Brian!
Thanks,
