I find that concealed subscribers are not available to me as listowner through
the REV LISTNAME command.  I have to use a command which will give me
the full information about each subscriber's options to get subscriber
information
for those set to CONCEAL.
.
This is a big disadvantage if list information is needed.  In no way would
I use
it when REVIEW=OWNER will give me the standard list sorted in the way I
desire (standardly for me, "by date").

In fact, I have used a global command:  "quiet set [listname] noconceal for *@*
to undo those who have used "conceal".  They will know this only if they
request their own options.  In the beginning, I explained to the few who had
opted for "conceal" that it was moot since I was the only one who had access
to the list of subscribers.  I would like to remove the instructions about
"conceal"
but have not done so.  Be sure to use "quiet" with this command
