I also come down on this side of the arguament.  As others have
mentioned, I feel this is a friendly group, with a really nice amount
of 'chat'.  If it were me in a position to post results, I don't think
I would be too happy about doing it if I felt that all the work and
entertainment were purely a 1 way thing.  

I think this group is MUCH more than just a results distributing service
(whilst, of course, not maligning the excellent job those who provide
the results do), and I am absolutely in favour of keeping up the 'chat'.

Hopefully the digest format will help those for whome this is a problem.
btw, huge amounts of admiration to those who can work these computer
thingies to provide all these services!
