With due respect to your position, that last paragraph SEEMS to make no
sense.

You just commented that filling up the digest is annoying.
But again, "we" involves more than just your opinion, but the whole
POV-Team.

Also, "and if we easily can" seems strange.
You just stated that the change to show off-topic in the digest was
intentional.
Did someone break the handle on the switch that turns it off/on?

Not that I begrudge there being an off-topic group, especially if I had an
off-topic message. But 49% of the Message Digest was in the last 30 hours,
and was on "Life Sucked at My School This Week", 11% more was spread across
other off-topic threads.

There are at least 20 groups I'd rather read, even from a newbie (such as
myself) asking a FAQ, that actually have to do with POVRAY, than in reading
chit-chat that has no relationship. Unintentionally so, but this is SPAM.
