   Yeah, you're right about most of that.   I suppose the idea is to get
people to "do the right thing".

   I don't  really worry about it  because I am  not a NAD, but  I would
hate to have  to fix a couple of hundred  subscriptions that aren't even
mine, but then  again, I would probably deserve it  for not doing things
"right" in the first place :-).
