My confirm_request.txt is certainly much closer to a treatise than the terse default. But I have friends and relatives who's email practices are to look for the last email from me, and reply to it. Frequently that's my confirmation request. So I've had friends (quite a few actually) who will try to send me a new email by replying to my confirmation request. Which, of course does not result in an email that gets delivered to my mailbox. So, yes my confirm_request.txt is wordy, but since going to the wordy version, I've had significantly fewer problems with folks who do what I described above. >The default templates have undergone many revisions, and their wording >has been one of the most hotly contested areas of TMDA. My comments do not mean I think the default templates should be changed. They're just fine as defaults. I just don't use them.
