How could it be the best solution?
It's the best (or least worst?) IMO because no solution is going to please everyone, so search + subscribe may be best overall. Sorry for leaving Search out, I figured it was a safe assumption.

We've already been down this road before, silvermountain, and maybe you should search (I recommend the Google supersearch) out previous threads on this subject to see why I say that. Summing up hundreds of posts isn't easy...
