The problem with this is that if you have Validate= Yes,Confirm
enabled for your mailing list (which I would recommend very strongly)
you will have to OK each ADD command seperately.

If you take this route (and I would really recommend using bulk add
instead), you would probably want to temporarily disable Validate=
Yes and then reenable it when you were done.

Another note: The following is valid syntax.

        QUIET ADD listname email@address *

if you don't know the user's first and last names or do not want to
be bothered typing them in.  (Of course using a dummy name, as was
done above, will also work.)
