Or should > I set all topics as default? I recommend that you explicitly QUIET SET all subscribers to ALL topics when you set this up, UNLESS you are changing the current focus of the list. Provide users (both current and new) with a tutorial on how to change their TOPICS as well as how to post topical Subject:s. Your explicit SET will remove any confusion or doubt later on even if you think that implicit (default) works the way you think you want. Remember when adding or removing TOPICS that there are certain "rules."
