Just a heads up. Not yet, but possibly soon.

I know that a lot of subscribers like to read the digest with their "morning coffee". But over the past few years, it seems like I'm getting more and more pissed off people whose phones beep, vibrate or light up at 5-6AM upon receipt of our digest e-mail. And for those on the West Coast it's 2-3AM.

Some people have their phones set to never notify them. Some set it to always notify them. But in the end, too many get those notifications that wake them up. And they get pissed at me for sending e-mail too early in the morning.

I guess things have changed to the point where e-mail gets read in almost real time, as soon as it's received. So I must adapt.

It used to be that I would send out the digest and it would sit and wait in subscriber's inbox until convenient time to read it. So 5AM delivery was a good option to start off the day. But with the way the technology is evolving, this doesn't seem acceptable anymore.

It's strange how we all changed over the course of just several years.

In any case, I'm currently looking into a way to send out two digests per day. So that people who prefer to continue receiving it at 5AM could choose so in their settings. But that adds a host of other technical issues. So most likely, the digest will be switched to 1PM delivery in the near future.
