Allan - If this is a django standard form, based on the user's preferences model, then I can see why it's originally designed this way.
Any application or website that I've ever used, has default preferences that the user can then override. Rather than leaving the preferences blank. IMHO.
Displaying the defaults might not be that easy, if the whole form is totally being auto-generated by django. Populating the defaults when a person subscribes, might be easier. But I'll take a look. - Mark

MRL,
I agree that this is misleading and confusing. My list members often complain to me about it. The proper way to handle this kind of inheritance is to inform the user what the default is and allow him/her to set or remove an override.
Yours,
Allan

When I subscribe to a mailing list, and I don't manually select some of the "Subscription options", they are left unselected when I go back to look at them. I would have thought that if I didn't make a selection, that they would be set to a default option. Or am I wrong? Thanks.
