[Nfb-web] Question about Lists and Duplicate Messages

Mon Aug 10 15:07:32 UTC 2009

If I join a special interest list and am added to the "everyone" list, will I have the option to drop out of the "everyone" list?

I think it is a good idea. Anyone added to any list gets subscribed to your announcements list. If this is what you are proposing, I'm for it.
