Okay, *that* i knew about--i thought Ron was talking about another
mailing list dedicated to eggcorns.

Out of everything that's been floated so far, i like Lynne's idea of
having the digest sorted by thread, rather than by posting time. Like
she said, though, there may well be technical issues that would make
that switch difficult.
