For almost as long as this blog has been going we have had an associated digest. This has gone out to over 800 people. The frequency of the digest has changed as the frequency of posting has gone down. We have decided that it is now time to turn off the digest. While the blog continues, it has become more a venue for occasional comment than a steady stream. Thank you to all those who have subscribed to the digest, and I hope you continue to read entries in the future.
