Actually, Kris is referring to ppl sending in a subscribe message, but not 
sending back a confirmation ... the list moderator has the ability to 
approve such requests, which I general do when I clean out the lists ... 
the problem is that I know that I've had issues where that confirmation 
mail gets lost as spam (ie. Yahoo's spam features send it to the bulk mail 
folder, that I've had experience with ppl losing emails in) ...

But, if Kris wants me to stop, that's cool ... there are other lists I 
don't touch ...
