What about (and this may be more code than it's worth) at ten, all
subscriptions are held while a single "confirm" goes out to the email
address; more than twenty-five and it's all undone automatically... (Does

curious...)

Your enemy is never a villain in his own eyes.
Keep this in mind; it may offer a way to make him your friend.
If not, you can kill him without hate - and quickly.
