Ari, I like the way this list is managed. 8) I was thinking about the same
thing...I doubt many of us want lots of extra verbiage, but maybe just one
extra short line (two words, maybe: 'subscription info' or 'list info') with
a URL directly to the subscription information wouldn't hurt?

I've been administering systems and supporting users for awhile and I've
learned this: A lot more people have embraced the internet; this is good.
But, a lot more people need a little extra help.
