Hi VSNET Folks,

>However, the concept of a "digest" or "summary" mailing list has worked
well in other busy message forums.  So why not a "vsnet-digest" compiled by
the VSNET administrators? "vsnet-digest" messages might include such things
as:
>- the existing long-period variables report (monthly?)
>- the existing CVs and peculiar variables report (weekly?)
>- a new Supernovae Report (weekly?) like the CVs report
>Messages in "vsnet-digest", like "vsnet-charts", could only be posted by
the VSNET administrators.  Anyone with limited time (or bandwidth) could
then subscribe only to "vsnet-digest".  


I'd prefer this idea. It could help a lot. Checking all vsnet-obs messages
is too time consuming for me. I like the idea to put the summaries of the
observations daily...



>After all, some of us subscribe only to "vsnet-alert" for similar
>reasons.  Comments, anyone?
Yes, you are right. Unfortunately the vsnet-alert does not fulfill this
need, therefor I shall subscribe the vsnet-obs, but sometimes that kind of
vsnet-digest could help more....

Fidusz
