I agree.  However if the subscriber settings are the same on both lists
there is no conflict.
But when they differ, there "could be" a priority order.  Say any
sub-list where you are set to MAIL would cause the Super-List to send
you e-mails and not a DIGEST.  I could understand picking one or the
other, that would be fine, instead of changing everyone to MAIL because
there "might be" a conflict in subscriber options on the sub-lists.

Thanks for the help,
Mike
