Quoting back an entire digest of this list

particularly good way to "show [you] can be... friendly".
Let's be fair, quite a lot of mailing list regulars top post and we've
all accidentally spammed the contents of a digest at some point.
Pet hate: endless, repetitive discussions about top-posting, and
endless references to "broken mailers" or mail that doesn't respect
some RFC or another.
Would it be ok if I asked people who want to start these conversations
to just do it directly to the person? It really doesn't concern the
rest of us.
