"Macintosh Digital Video List" spam?

[Gordon B. Alley]

I already get 20 or more e-mails per day in my personal account from 
all sources, so I think I'll stick with the digest.

On reconsideration of my earlier post, you're probably right. The 
frequency of messages will undoubtedly increase when iDVD 3 starts 
arriving (BTW, Apple had notified me to expect shipment of the iLife 
discs on about 2/11, but I received my shipping confirmation last 
Friday, so they should arrive any day now).

I wasn't complaining, just explaining, about the frequency of 
digests. I'm willing to slog through all those posts, because I don't 
want to miss anything.  :-)
