If you're not using digest mode to read the "bananafish" list, you 
can ignore this.

Based on good private responses about the time the list digest is
compiled and distributed, I've made a bit of a shift that will take
effect at the end of today (June 14).  

Previously, the digest was compiled at 3 pm EST (5 hours before
Greenwich Mean Time), and often there would be a thread that got
truncated at 3 pm and continued the next day.  By sending the 
digest out at a time when the list is at its most quiet time 
(4 am EST), I hope we get a slightly more logical collection of 
digest messages.

If you'd like to try digest mode, send mail to:

	listproc@lists.nyu.edu

Leave the subject line blank; put this command (and only this) in the
body of the message:

	set bananafish mail digest

I'd be interested, as always, in hearing -- pro or con -- from
subscribers who get the list in digest form.  Send a note to me
privately, please, rather than to the list:

	tim.oconnor@nyu.edu

Thanks to all who responded, and for your continuing contributions 
to this charming little "community" of ours.
