There appears some jokester who is subscribing people to the squeak
mailing list without their consent.  Might I suggest that the list be a
bit more restrictive in its subscription process.  Having the potential
subscriber acknowledge that he/she wants to be part of the list via a
confirmation e-mail is easy, quick and pretty much the standard on most
mailing lists nowadays.

However, I can't see why they don't want to be on the list :)
