I don't see how we could completely prevent scripting attacks.  I guess
we could set a minimum time between posts, but that would just be
annoying and ultimately solve nothing.

I do agree that other malicious people shouldn't have the same rights I
do. ;)  Seriously, that method still requires them to click a
confirmation link.  As a test, I requested unsubscribe for you (Larry)
and me.  Don't click any links, and we'll see if we hear from you again...;)

There must be some open source software...
