   Eric already said this doesn't happen.  Of course he's right.  He oughta
know.

I can also say that with a lot of lists over seven years (12 right now) the
ONLY time I've seen an email telling of a change of options is:

1.   I change my OWN options.  That is good.  It confirms the commands I sent.

2.  I change someone ELSE's options....but only IF I DO IT FOR THEM, and
NEVER if they do it themselves.  Again, this is good.  It lets me know that
I gave the right command on the right member and that it was indeed done.

That's it.  Period.  End of story.
