Not only that, but it creates much more work for you if you see
something that you want to comment back on. You have to edit out all of
the other messages and change the subject of your message, etc. It won't
thread right with everyone else either, because your message ID won't be
the same as the OP of that particular message your replying to. If
there's more than one to reply to, the work is obviously multiplied
again.
Of course, we've all seen examples of those who don't bother to do any
of that and just reply to the digest message with digest subject and all
of the messages left intact. They go on the ignore list immediately.
Single individual message filtered into a folder maintain the proper
subject and message ID and will thread properly. You look through the
Elecraft folder and kill what you don't want, keep what you do, and
reply to what you want if you want to. Better housekeeping, and it
doesn't cause extra work for others when your message doesn't thread
right or have the right subject line.
