This is not the case. Digest format is one of the options you can choose per 
list you subscribe to. Another option is web based - ie - you never receive 
anything, it's just there waiting for you to log in and read from whereever 
you are via a web browser.

On the other hand, I too am a list moderator, and the list I moderate is not 
set up to require moderator approval for postings (similar to the original 
[this one] P3D) so there is actually little work required.

Another concern, and Alexander and Dalia - please don't take any offense, is 
that keeping the list here keeps it away from control by a for profit 
entity. For example, I would enjoy the added traffic that would be generated 
if I added the list to my 3D site (which I could since I have unlimited disk 
space and free access to my ISP) but would not want to do this as I also 
sell 3D Books and 3D-CDs there. Several of us have large 3D sites, and they 
continue to grow. That is all good, and appreciated by everyone. However, I 
would like to see this list be "seperate" from all of us as 
individuals/businesses. Does that make sense?

Again, I hope I haven't offended...?
