that was not the "little bit more work" I was referring to.  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.
