Hi Folks,

We had a glitch when sending out the digest on Wednesday night (7/6). It only went out to users with Usernames starting with A or B. I tried to compensate for that by including Wednesday's posts in last night's (Thursday's) digest. But that caused its own troubles, both on my (sending) side and for some users when reading it. Only about half the digests included the prior days posts. Those digests were rather large, which caused trouble for some members because their email client doesn't support such large emails gracefully.

So I've reposted some of the posts from Wednesday that seemed the most important to get out, including those from our Commercial Supporting Members. If I didn't repost your post and you are anxious to get it out again, please let me know.

I will not be reposting anything form the current discussions. Note that when when you post something to a discussion, you are subscribed for instant updates for future posts to that discussion. So all discussion participant were notified of Wednesday's posts, even though some members may not have seen it in their digest.

We have started a project to enhance the digest, including freshening up its appearance and an option to have the table of contents links connect to the post on the website rather than including the post in the body of the digest. First though we're changing some of the coding to make it more flexible, which should mostly be transparent to you. Hopefully future changes will go in more smoothly.

Thanks for your support and understanding!
Wishing you a lovely weekend and summer :waccosun:
