Thanks for the history of the list, Jecel.

Seems that I've been far too hard on Gordon et al. Apologies.

I wonder if there is a manual work-around for this?

Seems to me that if both lists could provide a digest, then it would be
relatively easy to post the digest of one group to the other (and vice
versa). 

While this could never have the immediacy of a pair of bi-directional
lists, it would seem to offer a way of keeping the community together
(pending the invention of a super-script).

Hell, I'd volunteer to do it but I'm up to my eyeballs in (unpaid for)
Squeak stuff. I'll offer to do it on a "relief for main forwarder"
basis, though.

What do people think?

Cheers

John
