Hi guys! I have found that if I subscribe to a list in digest mode, I can read that list in abt 2-3 minutes depending upon the number of posts on the digest. It is very easy to join and scan many lists via the digest and it also makes it easier to focus since you are not going from family A, to family S, to the Wood/s family and back to A, etc. They are all together, and in a nice, neat package.
