That's a good question. I guess I approached with the idea that the list would
be new as well. So eventually, you would be the only one subscribed to it and
thus the question is simple(r) to answer.
But for the case of an existing list, I wonder if we can do better than what you
describe.
@Kevin any thoughts on this?
