I won't use the phrase "industry standard mailing list software" because I hate it when other people use that phrase. But really, this is how every free-software mailing list system works these days. I'd be surprised if more than a trivial number of users on the Tor lists picked a password at all. Typically people just let it choose a random password for them, and it's nice to have that reminder sent monthly because nobody ever knows their list password (for good reason -- there's barely a need to have a password for a mailing list subscription in the first place). Maybe we should find a way to wrestle it into not letting you pick a password for yourself? --Roger _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
