Hi Gary,

Again, thx a lot for your explanation to a Grouper newby ;)

I meant "g:isa" (example) subjects, not the GrouperSystem account.

But then I assume that 'description' or 'name' will be retrieved from 
subjectattributes, which are not set by addSubject() to begin with.
I guess adding a 'description' attribute to subjectattributes for the added 
subject by addSubject() would fix this "beginners problem" and would be a 
logical thing to do, given the apparent "testing" character of addSubject() 
you referred to.

If so, then that would be my next feature request. Any developer listening? ;)

Martin
