OK.  If it makes you (and possibly your users) feel better to know that
everyone has recently reconfirmed in recent months, go ahead.  I wasn't
criticizing the practice, only querying its necessity.

I wonder how many people here have ever had a false complaint from a list
member about being spammed.

It certainly is possible, particularly for low volume lists, that people
forget that they really did join and confirm their joining.

Have people found it necessary to log/store confirmation message?  If so,
which MLM systems help with that process?  Of course, you only know you
need those logs well after the subscription time.
