Index of Subjects Hi all All good points. I'll concede that security issues should be parmount. However, I think we should continue to strive for a more friendly user interface. With the invention of the automobile, you had to be mechanically inclined to own or operate one. Today, many drivers don't know the difference between a manifold and a muffler. Internet users are heading in the same direction - many don't know (or want to know) the difference between e-mail and form-mail. I note on some of the editors pages that there are facilities to send on-line e-mail queries, etc. On-line surveys also utilize form-mail. I am inclined to classify these processes as an equivilent security risk with on-line subscribe/unsubscribe. I'll withdraw my request for a simplfied subscribe/unsubscribe, but I will also throw down a challenge to our technical membership to resolve the issue. Call the project "Subscribe for Dummies".
