I looked but other than some mild munging of some subjects, I can't see 
what you're referring to.
I personally have been subbed to numerous mailing lists which [do this], 
and I have not had a bad experience worthy of the anxiety you seem to 
suggest.

Can you elaborate please (not for the sake of debate, I'm just curious 
how I have missed the pitfalls for so many years)?
