I'm not sure that the digest for the CCBC list is any easier to keep up with than individual e-mails. This last digest is a perfect example. Because so many posters will not (or don't know how to) snip off the previous portions of earlier posts, we end up with an endless list of new and old posts mixed together, making it nearly impossible to follow any thread.
I recently sent a note to the CCBC-net listserv owner about the possibility of moving this forum to a site that separates each thread into individual categories. That way, a reader can click on just the topics he is interested in and skip the rest. I realize this would probably be a huge undertaking for the CCBC, and a disruption to the flow of conversation, but what a pleasant experience it would be to be able to follow a thread.
