as you might think. I've proposed that someone come up with a

maybe that's because a simple url forgery would make a such a

addresses whitelists will be useless.
I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing. I'm talking about
something that can go on any web site that asks for your email
address. At the sametime you give your email address, you also click
on the "Whitelist" link, and it notifies your whitelisting software,
which prompts you with the information--thus ensuring that whatever
address the site you just signed up uses, it will get past your
filter.

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
