Re: Weird re-subscription email from sourceforge

I just got a "confirm your subscription" message message from sourceforge.
The URL had 'mailman' in it, but I've never received this kind of thing
before from a mailman list.  When I went to the URL it had checkboxes
checked for two of sourceforge mailing lists (but not roundup-dev),
and two checkboxes unchecked for advertising from sourceforge.  Then it
had a last checkbox that said that I agreed to receive email from
sourceforge.net.  That sounds like an agreement for them to spam me,
whether it is one or not, but I can't submit the form to confirm my
subscription without checking that box.  Regardless of that, I have
decided that I am *not* going to subscribe to a mailing list where I
have to reconfirm my subscription periodically; it's too much trouble
for a list I rarely participate in (but do read).

The original message said my subscription would be deleted on June 29th
if I didn't confirm, so I'll be off this list after June 29th.

If the moderators are interested, I'm sure that python.org would
be happy to host the roundup lists, all you have to do is email
[email protected] and ask, and then transfer the membership list.
(If they do hesitate for some reason, contact me and I'll convince them :)
