Well, there's no reason these settings couldn't just be confirmed (as with subscription) or even operated entirely from email (cf. http://www.jwz.org/doc/mailman.html), and I'm pretty sure there are mailing list managers that don't use any password at all. It seems mailman has won though... > Do you want me to turn off the monthly reminder? Nah, if the passwords have to exist in the first place then mailman mailing list memberships reminder day is traditional. Mostly I just like complaining...
