A subscriber on one of our lists recently sent a couple of postings to the
list and received two ACK messages back that have very different counts on
the number of recepients.  These numbers also differ quit a bit from the
actual number of concealed/non-concealed subscribers.  Any thoughts on why
these numbers vary so much?
