Your digests are muchly appreciated. They even help me identify related posts
when I prepare to post new ones. I think chronological order means very
little when you're looking at a 24-hour period with a feedreader that's
refreshed only 2-3 times per day. It might be worth slicing by tags, but I
understand this [c|w]ould be a chore. To the reader, this would mean that
there are no 'jumps' between a topic like Linux and Ballmer's latest iPhone
FUD. The tags can automate organisation of the content.
