Re: GET vs. POST subscription confirmations

Interesting theory.  What about the many millions of users who don't use or
want HTML mail readers?  It's easy enough to pick a URL out of a text message
and click on it, but you can't do that if it's an entire form. 

But really, this argument is silly.  Real web browsers and servers treat GETs
with arguments the same as POSTs.  Whatever theoretical difference may have
once existed between them stopped mattering about the time that browsers
stopped implementing PUT.
