No, I explained the problem. I don't want 10 clicks of a submit page to drop 440 you have been subscribed messages into someone's mail box. Right now the worst that happens is they get 44 subscribed messages, a bunch of e-mails and 44 unsubscribed messages. With confirm, it would be possible for someone to have us do their dirty work and drop 4400 did you want to be subscribed messages into their mailbox. In other words, confirm aggravates the situation.
The web tool which handles subscribe requests should check each list's cookie directory to see if a confirmation message has already been sent to that user. If it has, don't send another one. Problem solved.
