[thelist] Anyone written a subscription-model site?

[Dan Romanchik]

I've done this, but it's not really all that automated. Basically, the owner
of the site processes subscription orders and administers the subscription
list with a set of screens I developed for her. It's not really that
difficult to do yourself.
