SUBSCRIBER UPDATE QUESTION

John Isles of Hanover, Michigan writes: "Thank you!
Great newsletter, as always. The best things in life
Are free. Well, at least, that saying fits this fact!

Please excuse me for reporting a small misgiving about
your section "Subscriber Update". Why don't you mention
_all_ the new arrivals? If one is singled out, the
others will feel excluded; and maybe some readers will 
know other arrivals better.

Just a thought; please forgive, and keep up the good work."

[In the old days, I processed every subscription change
by hand, updating a mailing list on my own computer.  
When we moved to the mailing list service provided by
Binhost.com, those duties were partially automated.  
Although people do still email me with requests 
(which I process via binhost), a number of people go through
Binhost independently, so people can come and go from the 
list without my involvement. As an administrator of the mailing 
I can of course see the list and do notice new email addresses,
but I don't have the time to follow-up to learn subscriber names 
(lack of time was a big reason for automating it in the first place.
I do acknowledge subscribers that I'm aware of.

While on the topic, we should also note that the subscriber
count number Binhost gives us is probably inflated, because 
I don't think it takes into account email addresses that no 
longer work. We could review and purge the list on occasion, 
but just haven't bothered to do so yet. So 700 is a maximum 
number; the reality the number is probably smaller. -Editor]
