You know, I'd make better progress on the new version if I didn't keep 
having to fix the old version.

I just discovered (in the course of changing my Akus subscription from 
Bloglines to this account) that the iam/subscribe method of adding an 
alternate and then bumping it to primary doesn't work if membership is 
moderated.  Durn thing intercepts the subscribe for moderation before it 
figures out that it's just promoting an alternate and not a new 
subscription.

It comes up so rarely (most of you have your lists set to the 
vastly-preferred "closed" mode, which requires a confirmation from the 
almost-member but not from the moderator) that I'm probably not going to 
fix it right now, but it's something to be aware of.  And unless you've 
got a reason to have a moderated-membership list (which is not the same as 
moderated posting) you might want to just set it to "closed."  ("Open" is 
now nonexistent, though it might appear as a selection or even as your 
current setting.  "Open" meant single opt-in subscription, which was fine 
in a kinder, gentler Internet, but not these days.  The software now
treats "open" and "closed" membership the same.)
