I've "fixed" that. Now it is unsubscribable, as it should be. People should not
even attempt trying to subscribe to it. It's listed as defunct in the faq, I've
stated same several times myself.

It is uneconomical for me to send (number of messages)*(number of subscribers)
a day. It takes far longer (and hence more $$$) than sending fewer, but larger
messages.

The digest is and will be active, everyone should choose that option instead.

When such a time comes around that this becomes free for me, then I may
reconsider the restriction, but until then I just can't afford it.
