I have read it. None of it addresses my specific question. The answer in the FAQ is all just a general rationale.
No, it is very specific to this list
To rephrase: What is it about the SUSE community that makes SUSE come to a different conclusion about digests?
Why do you want a digest? Would you really go through a 500K+ email per day? Are you really not just looking for a way to filter the list mail?
Nope. I have no problem with SUSE's decision. I do not need a digest. I'm just looking to understand what is different about SUSE people that leads to a different conclusion about digests /w/r/t Fedora or Debian people.
Dear Scott,
Please show me where. I've re-read the FAQ again. I see nothing w/r/t any analysis in comparison to Fedora or Debian lists.
As to comparisions with Fedora or Debian mail lists, that's apples and oranges given that they all have different list administrators and the list administrator gets to make these kinds of decisions.
And on each list, the decision seems to have popular support. What is different about each community? I think it's more than just the arbitrary decisions of a list manager. I suspect it's related to the European bent of the SUSE list membership, but I think that's too simplistic.
I think the reason why people here seem to have trouble answering the question is that it's more sociological in nature. Yes, a bit OT, but who better to understand the differences between Linux users than Linux users?
Thanks, Mike
