I looked at that form again and I'm quite sure that Aweber can integrate with that and double opt-in would not be required, so you wouldn't need to mess with a CSV file at all.

But maybe I should revise that to be a bit more obvious? Hmn .. yeah, actually you sign up for the newsletter when you create a galcon account (there is a opt-out radio button.)

They're certainly a leader in the field (it's a subscription model). You can import CSV files, but they're going to send a confirmation email to every one you import, and they'll have to opt in. That might kill it for you, but any "real" company will do that to be spam compliant. I also think it's a good idea for you. I got your email today about Smiles, and I didn't mind because I know your name and I LOVE Galcon, but sending out a list-type email that I never subscribed to (and especially without including an unsubscribe link) is pretty blatant spam. I think it'd be better if you ask people if they would like to receive emails from you, and that can all be managed automatically with a service like Aweber has. I think that Aweber.com is amazing.
