Default UV or skylight filters for digital

Hi,
I read somewhere that UV filters for digital SLR cameras are a waste of
time because they have very little affect.
( see " Why worry about UV " at : http://dpfwiw.com/filters.htm#uv )
The skylight is apparently a cheaper, and just as effective option for
digital lens protection.
Is this correct ?
Regards
Graham

I think they're a waste of time for any kind of camera.

Last time I looked at my filter rack a UV and a Skylight from the same maker
were the same price.

....says the man who's never climbed a mountain.

...anyway, time? surely you mean money?

I bet you scrub the anti-UV coating off your lenses too eh?
