But aren't all non password protected actions through the web confirmed anyways? Sure, if the person gets the password for the subscriber, then you can have a problem, mind you, you'd have to do a ``no-password'' on the validate also. Trust me it is VERY annoying to have to confirm an unsubscribe. Particularly if you are unsubscribing, and leaving for a while, and then you get back to find your mailbox full of mail you thought would stop with the unsubscribe request...
