        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...
