You're missing the point... My question is ``Why don't they just do this
(confirm) for EVERYBODY and ALL OF THE TIME?''
As far as I'm concerned, that is the ONLY responsible way to run a service
like the one they are running. Anything less than that allows various
ramdom net-hooligans to, for example, launch an egroups-assisted subscription
bomb on, for example, Gray Davis, or me, or you, or...
The default setting should be set to ``No, DO NOT allow ramdom net-hooligans
to subscription bomb Joe Innocent Bystander.''

Yes.
