Whilst this might be quite correct, Roy's postings are also performing
another, quite excellent service - they're keeping the s/n ratio as
high as it's ever been in Cola. I do not believe that we've /ever/ had
so many on-topic posts in this group as we have at the moment, although
it's quite correct that Terry Porter used to generate an excellent number
of them himself - you can see his legacy by the fact that even after so
many years, gary/flatty is still obsessed with him.
Once the trolls have gone, then it would be the right time to consider
perhaps digests or similar, but whilst they're here, Roy S's current
approach is much better.
