I received the following note from one of our list editors. Subscription is by owner on his list, and they require new subscribers to fill out a questionnaire first. I agree that the CC: potential subscribers receive is confusing. Is there a way to send them something simpler or nothing instead? They do try to return the CC: themselves, rather than waiting for the list owner to do it.
