Topica has only been a regular "pain in the rear" for
the last couple of months. A year ago it was running
fine on Topica. Even less than six months ago it was
running fine on Topica other than an occasional day off
for "maintenance". Sounds to me like you were letting
some mysterious prejudice against Topica keep you away
from the community...
If this is actually another complaint about the size of
the digests on Topica, I'm now beginning to get dismay over
the slower larger digests like I used to get over the faster
smaller ones on Topica. Most folks who stuck around seem
to have grown to appreciate the smaller digests that let
digesters keep up to date closer to "real time" while still
reducing their mail by a factor of 10. Now the digesters
won't get any "breaking news" for over twice as long.
The larger digests are actually easier on me, but I feel
the pain of those digesters who are now disappointed
with the change.
