   In view of the subscription service you propose to offer, you won't care
   for my answer :-) To me, a real subscriber is one whose name I know from
   my subscribers file and whose name is what Russell (that's Bertrand)
   called a proper name (it refers to one and only one individual person).
 
Thank you for your candor.  I would not subscribe anyone whom the list
owner does not wish to be subscribed.
