Hello, glad to have MMD back in my mailbox but I have a question.
It seems like I am getting several messages a day now -- can I get it
all in one swoop?

Thanks!
Susan

 [ Susan,  Good question!
 [
 [ The articles in each Digest are primarily from the date of
 [ written by the author.  Occasionally we delay an article due
 [ to research or to group a set of articles on the same subject.
 [
 [ When we fall behind in our publishing schedule, we play catch-up
 [ publishing as if there hadn't been a delay.  This is primarily to
 [ insure that there are no gaps in the calendar of archived articles
 [ on the website.  A side effect of doing this is that during the
 [ catch-up period you'll get more than one issue on some days, as
 [ if they had been delayed in the mail, except, of course, the delays
 [ were our fault, not the post office or Internet.  ;-)
 [
 [ In this case, we are so far behind that there will be several
 [ more days with more than one Digest.  A month from now, when
 [ writers go back to the Archives, they'll find the messages they
 [ wrote on the right day.  Also, not having gaps in the Archives
 [ saves answering a lot of _other_ questions.  ;-)
