I was under the impression that most members (being basically
intelligent people) followed the instructions that say to carefully
check the items on that list, cross off the ones they don't want
any more and add any new ones, and re-total at the bottom.  Am I
wrong about my underlying assumption?  I know that I almost always
do (partly because I almost always change my list, being a flexible
type of person ...).
