[Nfb-web] Question about Lists and Duplicate Messages

[Steve Jacobson]

I would add that as things currently stand, one cannot unsubscribe from announcements sent to special interest lists, either, so what Dave is suggesting is mostly a 
way to maintain the status quo without the duplicates.  I frankly feel that persons who really don't want to read announcements will find it easier to delete them if they 
only get them one time.  This really seems like a positive step to me.  Obviously, if there is a simpler way to accomplish this as Mike suggested earlier, that should be 
investigated, too.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
