Each of us will make mistakes from time to time no matter how much
we try to avoid them.  Are you free from this human curse?

>From what I have read on this subject so far the prevailing
sentiment is not to disable this ability but simply make it
harder to alter the subscriber information so that it won't be
done unintentially. Since altering only the header information is
the desired result most of the time why not make this the
default?
