If that ever ends up happening in practice, then the person who is the victim of that problem can simply send a signed email saying "the previous unsigned email that claimed I didn't want to be a DD anymore was a forgery". Meanwhile, it makes sense to be courteous to people who were a DD once but really couldn't care less now and want to get rid of the nagging, which seems like a far more likely scenario. -- To the thief who stole my anti-depressants: I hope you're happy -- seen somewhere on the Internet on a photo of a billboard
