The transition is greatly simplified by automatically subscribing all existing users.  And you have the option of specifying whether or not a batch of users is added as web only or regular email delivery.  Then the users don't have to do anything.  It just works.  And the URL they need to visit to see the group web site is appended to the bottom of each new message, so there really is no need to make subscribers manually join the new group.  However, I respect Todd's decision to do whatever he feels is best.

 Agreed. But please provide simple step by step instructions for the 
 users to subscribe to and use.
