[Owasp-leaders] Unadsolicited additions to OWASP mail lists.

Dumb question, doesn't our list require folks to confirm? If so, I think
it is a memory problem...

Agreed 100%.  This shouldn't be happening.

In DC, we capture an attendee list for each meeting, but we don't use it
to add people to our training list.  If we want to contact those people,
we do so without the use of the list.
