A digest is a thread that is given special recognition for being outstanding.
Digests are awarded by moderators and are rare. REally! I am new and I thought it was where we could register our progress on WIP projects. Dah! Was I ever wrong. Thanks for the clarification. Good to know! I thought it was only cross stich magazines :lol Thank you so much for explaining that to me, I have been wondering what it was :lol static/image/common/user_online.gif BlueTanager static/image/common/clock.gif 2023-10-19 22:55
This just solved a VERY old doubt I had in my life, non forum related, of course!
We had the "Reader ...
The name "Reader's Digest" is talking about 'digesting' information through reading. Very different from this site! I think that magazine sort of abridged things to make it easier for readers to understand and absorb the information (or, "digest" it). To digest in reading is sort of like to ponder, and to come to understand through that pondering. :) This just solved a VERY old doubt I had in my life, non forum related, of course!
We had the "Reader's Digest" magazine here in my country and it kept the english name. I always wondered what "digest" was about, but by the time the internet grew big I never looked into it. Bumping into this thread accidentally answered my question (on another note I also wondered what it meant here). static/image/common/user_online.gif BlueTanager static/image/common/clock.gif 2023-10-20 11:55

Readers digest just wasn’t outstanding though. It was boring. My grandparents used to get it and it was dull. It was always readers digest which was there to read in the dentists waiting room, too lol Why are they called digests, though? Is it a quirk of the translation? There's nothing about the word digest to me that would imply something is outstanding or worthy of praise or special award. I hear that word and I think of the bodies physical process of digestion. I'm still not quite getting it. Is there any example we can see?? To me, so many threads are outstanding, especially different crafts than mine. I'm a knitter and cross stitch, for example, is stunning to me.
What is criteria for digest/outstanding?
