As Charles Oriez suggests, our situation is entirely different than his. Our lists are all related to people who are adopting or have adopted children from Eastern Europe, primarily the former Soviet bloc countries. We don't have an organization, other than our list subscribers. We don't have any paid staff. All of our officers and listowners are unpaid volunteers. We have about 12,000 total subscriptions to our lists. We don't have any databases or membership lists to check against. For most of our subscribers, their first contact with us is when they go looking for adoption resources, find our website, and complete our online subscription registration form. The subscription questionnaires are primarily to verify that the person meets the target criteria for the list. For example, that the person is a post-adoptive parent if they are trying to subscribe to one of our post-adoptive lists, or that they are single if they are trying to subscribe to our list for single adoptive parents. Out of our 8 lists with questionnaires, only one listowner is currently responsible for 2 lists. The other 6 lists each have separate listowners. Probably the highest number of questionnaires received in a day is 5, with most days far less than that. So, volume is not an issue. As I read Susanne Lamido's original message, it sounded like her situation was more similar to ours than to Charles'. That is why I was suggesting our model to her and explaining how we had the commands configured in the ADDREQ1 template, which is what she seemed to be asking.
