I would not characterize this as a "problem." It's a constructive
suggestion to improve Airwaves.

Two issues:
I read Airwaves via digest form, not individual Usenet articles (if
it's even still on Usenet). Regardless, while I *can* scroll past
postings via the digest in which I'm not interested (which I
regularly do on many lists I receive), doing so is inconvenient when
the individual posts are as lengthy as these two regulars are (often
1/3 or 1/4 of an entire digest for just one of them - see forthcoming
remark about bandwidth).


Perhaps we should ask the ARRL and WCBN posters to just post URLs then?

This is not a major earth-ending issue, but I think my suggestion is
practical and courteous for readers.


What say ye? (the rest of ye, anyhow)
