I'm going to address these issues in another post on the readalong list. META It took me two tries to subscribe to the readalong list, and the same thing happened when I tried to suscribe to the main list. I'm not sure about the latter, but with the readalong list in my first attempt I cut&pasted to address given in the subscribe message, and the second time I just replied. Also, the web archive doesn't seem to thread messages; if you view by threads, you only get the latest message of each thread. And there's still nothing that says how to get the digest. --KG
