Addendum: and yes, I tend to agree that daily digests of news blurbs would
be more useful than one-per-post. Certainly it would promote more on-topic
discussion /about/ the blurbs than what has been seen lately (which has
been pretty much either people complaining about them or others rebutting
those complaints as offtopic for the group and... oh, I'm getting a
headache).
