No, I'd rather there be a kplug-announce list that one could sign up
on or not.  If you don't want to get announcements, then you don't
subscribe, end of story.  If you do want to get announcements, you
then subscribe.

The thing is, if you implement an auto-subscribe, I won't get a single
message from kplug-announce, so I see no benefit to kplug-announce one
way or the other.  That leaves the only discriminant that of policy and
ideals -- double-opt-in or not?

I'm not objecting to an announce-list.  I'm just objecting to the
auto-subscribe scheme.  If it seemed that I was objecting to an
announce list, I apologize, as I was needlessly unclear.

Funny, spammers think I have an abnormally low tolerance for their
tricks as well.  So I guess you're right.

I'll have to go back into my archives to see if I can find my
unsubscribes; I recall there being some discussion about all of that at
the time, and what my problem was.
