It's come to my attention that the Daily Digest delivery option can possibly sometimes contain ads/spam that are disguised as posts, complete with message numbers. This may be a Yahoo experiment, I don't know.

Anyhow, 3 configuration options. You can select any any of these delivery methods from your "My Yahoo" page, (IIRC) or you may PM me to do it for you.

1. Individual email. Messages are sent to your mailbox usually almost immediately after someone posts. Advantage: Mailbox may be more convenient than a "favorites" bookmark. 2. You get to see posts that I delete from the webpage message board for being too off-topic (aprox. 4 per year.) Disadvantage: potentially litters your inbox.

2. Daily Digest. One days' worth of messages are collated into one email, and that's what is sent to your mailbox. Advantage: Maybe conventient, at least easy to delete many messages at same time. Maybe easier to follow a given thread's context and replies. Disadvantage: Formatting sometimes jumbled. Above described spam is possible. (?)

3. Web access. Advantage: easiest format to interpret, and some nice landscape. Other group funtions and archives available with one or two clicks (Files, photos, links, polls, etc.) Disadvantage: You have to navigate to a website.
