Dear all, I guess I should check that it is actually possible to unsubscribe someone from this list by just clicking on the 'unsubscribe link (posted into a discussion list email). I would have thought that the unsubscribe request would require 'verification' via entering a password?
I suppose that the behavior described, assuming it happens, is not what's required or expected, and that a bug report and fix might be in order? Apologies if I had the wrong names on the salutation of my previous email re. Stallman talks.
