It would be much appreciated.

But it means a great deal of work for the person who maintains the list. The MFD person actually does some cleaning up of the posts (e.g., getting rid of the garbage at the top) and has the power to end a thread (exercised once that I can remember in a year or so). On MFD, we all know who that person is, because his presence is definitely felt, and a lot of time is required of him. Note also that MFD stops if the maintainer goes on vacation or something--there are no individual e-mail messages. This creates a different kind of list--there are very few short wisecracks there, and more long articles, and there's often a delay of a week or two before your post gets sent in the Digest.
