I 'respectfully' ask that you enumerate for us the reasons why using an
email tool such as YG is a horrible way to colloborate since iwith YG a
SINGLE email address is used for the sending of messages?

and so you find it easier to send the attachment then a link to the
document. sheesh

well since you don't get the emails from digest user complaining about the
retained messages let me suggest that you take the digest version of the
listserv for at least two weeks to see what it is like. at one time
retaining previous messages were necessary due to the limitations of the
software and the storage capacity of systems. when replying to a physical
letter do you copy the original message and send it back with your reply?.
If you get a postcard in the mail due you make a copy of it and send it back
to the sender saying thank you.

failing to edit out previous messages is downright lazy.

editing a reply takes little or no effort
