 * Is there a way to exclude certain subscribers from receiving an email or is it
   best to just create a new list each time? The list could change from week to 
   week so I didn’t know if you could toggle someone on/off.

 * You could definitely make any subscriber inactive, in which case we won’t send
   them a message even if they are on the list. Depending on the size of your list,
   that May not be a quick process. Separate lists maybe your best bet. You can 
   always import the same list with your modifications to a new list. We will match
   the subscribers that already exist, and only add the ones that already exist 
   to the new list. For example, if you have your subscribers in a CSV file or spreadsheet,
   you could use that to create your changing list and import to a new list.

 * Would I make someone inactive by unconfirming them?

 * In general, it’s probably better to mark them as inactive instead of unconfirmed.
   Unconfirmed means that they did not receive the double opt in email and therefore
   they may have a bad address. Someone Who is inactive could therefore have a good
   address but just be removed from receiving any messages. But it is entirely up
   to you how you want to manage that.

 * Thanks for the update.
 * When I click to edit a subscriber the options include:
    – No Status – Confirmed–
   Active – Unsubscribed – Bounced
 * How do you make someone inactive?

 * I’m using the free version… is it a option in the paid version?

 * It looks like the couple options may have been removed with the UI updates recently.
   In that case, I would just mark them as no status.
