If I create a CCK select list which is not a required field, CCK generates a select list where the first row is empty.
Is it possible to avoid this without making this field a required field?

I am looking into this same question now. And will follow up if I note anything.

The answer is to make the field "required"
then in the options, define a blank field like. EG

|You may also select a state
ME|maine
MA|mass

etc

Ok, that's a good workaround for a "required" field. But I don't want to make all select fields "required".

If you enter "|" in the first line. Symbol above the \ key above the Enter button. The option will be blank when you first post that piece of content. If its required and you don't choose it it gives the error that says that the field must be selected. Maybe it will work with a non required field also.
