I hate to be too much of a curmudgeon (or at least, to be seen to be
making a habit out of it), but isn't this making something of a mockery
of the supposed distinction between the purposes of the three lists,
and those two in particular? (Well, OK, _increasing_ the existing
mockery...) I don't recall "longer and modified" being written into
the Digest charter, as its distinguishing characteristics...
(Though I personally liked it a lot, and will be finishing reading it
in more (longer, modified?) detail once I've watched The Sopranos,
and were I to make the distinction, I'd have said it was a more
"Digest-appropriate" post in the first place... (Don't scare the
newbies with list-poetry, they might have Billy Joel flashbacks!))
