I'm looking for a rehash of the whole debate on why confirmed
subscribes should or should not be.  I'd just like to know what
situations folks find acceptable for not using confirmations.

Well, here's one example, I have a set of 5-6 working groups that we set up after a strategic planning exercise. They're all going to be done and out of business in two months or less, and they're all comprised of busy, non "techy" people who agreed to communicate in this way because they were told it was easy and reliable. I just want them to be able to join, and/or put them in myself. I'm not worried that [EMAIL PROTECTED] is going to try to join and scarf the roster, I'm not trying to manage some 15-year-running sacred community with elders and hobbits and trolls and stuff, I'm just trying to get some working listspace going for people I *know* want to be there, with a minimum of BS.
