Al: Thanks for trying. While I prefer the old system in some ways the new system may be doable if you simply select in notification preferences "Real Time" and "Text" (rather than html). The messages then come into your email box and the subject headings look pretty much the same. You can organize them in your inbox as is necessary and (Ron N. you'll be pleased) the posts come through in plain text without problems. You can respond either to the discussion or to the sender directly by clicking on the appropriate link at the bottom of the post. Navigating through the postings on the website itself is still a pain and slow but doing it this way seems to work, at least so far. Personally, I don't care for the Google Groups interface. It just doesn't suit my eye and I think it's worse that doing it this way with the new system. Plus starting yet another group just seems like too many places to try and navigate through. I don't wish to lose JD's input so I'm hoping that doing it this way will suit him. I think you can still have a virtual conversation in real time. BTW, the digest format I don't think is a good idea if you want to try and maintain the same real time back and forth. Since the digest is only produced once daily then an exchange of 5 or 6 postings can end up taking a couple of weeks to get through. I've just replied all on this posting as I'm not really sure where it will get to with all the addresses.
