We use it at for public lists at Cosource.com, and private lists internal
to Vistasource.com, and love it.

We had one minor snag involving crossposting hich we're in the middle of
getting fixed:

Note that even though the page doesn't show it at the time of this

You can subscribe people via the mass-add box in membership management
(see the web interface) and opt not to send them a 'welcome to the list'
right there in the form. Is that what you were looking for?
