   The procedure seems to be click on link, enter e-mail address, click
(which automatically 'navigates' for you), enter password, click. 
Speaking realistically, I don't know of a simpler system which offers
sufficient security to keep some mook from unsubscribing all y'all just
for grins.  Disclaimer - I don't even play a web designer on TV.  =)

   I was able to do it in 30 seconds.  Disclaimer - English is my native tongue.

   
p.s.  Another option I haven't heard mentioned yet is converting to
digest form.  This keeps you on the list, but you get one e-mail per day
- it contains the day's business.  Like everything else for current
subscribers, it is under the heading 'IMC Subscribers' and requires you
to enter your addy and password to change your account.
