Ouch.  Sorry.  That does look sort of familiar.  I must have lost track
of that years ago.

Not the way I (mis-?)understand it.  If I'm on five lists I'm still
just one subscriber.  More out of curiosity than real need are the
new signup files able to eventually clean out a user who is no longer
a subscriber to any list?  Or will they continue to grow forever?
