if that is done i would want the yes option to be the default. but 
autosubscription is better IMO as opting out after that is easy and we 
never got any complaints. you go to yapc, you get on this list and can 
communicate with other yapc attendees. yapc is all about community and 
communication and this list is a solid part of that. i feel i am writing 
to /dev/null this year. it is not spam. it is community.
