      And ListProc.  From the beginning, the 'new list owner
      welcome' message sent to our new list owners have warned
      that the list owner is *not* subscribed to the list
      automatically, and that if the list owner wants to see the
      list traffic, they should, as their first act as a new list
      owner, subscribe themselves to the list.  For the 10 years
      we've been hosting lists, this policy has not generated a
      single complaint that I can recall.

      I personally know of at least a handful of lists on our
      system where the list owner is an administrative assistant
      taking care of the list on behalf of the boss or
      organization and as such has no desire or need to be
      subscribed to the list.
