I was talking about any time I wanted to make a review, I couldn't get an easy answer as to who was on my list by that method. I'd have to figure out who was set to conceal, so that if I had a reason to bCC some people on my list a particular message that I didn't want the other people to have, such as I did the other day, I could get an entire list of my subscribers without having to query for concealed members as well.
