Well, yes. And if I use it for a different purpose other than this reply, it's a violation of trust.You used my personal address by carboning your post to it; can one say that you "captured" my address because a post I made under it arrived via your subscription to this list?
But as for opting in:
I trust that the mail I received from you coming through a list system I trust was most likely from you.
I have almost no faith that any subscription request specifying any address is actually from that address. Therefore, AT THE TIME I RECEIVE THAT REQUEST, I do not believe anyone has "opted in" once.
