If you're not using digest mode to read the "bananafish" list, you can ignore this. Based on good private responses about the time the list digest is compiled and distributed, I've made a bit of a shift that will take effect at the end of today (June 14). Previously, the digest was compiled at 3 pm EST (5 hours before Greenwich Mean Time), and often there would be a thread that got truncated at 3 pm and continued the next day. By sending the digest out at a time when the list is at its most quiet time (4 am EST), I hope we get a slightly more logical collection of digest messages. If you'd like to try digest mode, send mail to: listproc@lists.nyu.edu Leave the subject line blank; put this command (and only this) in the body of the message: set bananafish mail digest I'd be interested, as always, in hearing -- pro or con -- from subscribers who get the list in digest form. Send a note to me privately, please, rather than to the list: tim.oconnor@nyu.edu Thanks to all who responded, and for your continuing contributions to this charming little "community" of ours. --tim
