the particular problem with AskBot was that the e-mail subscription is 
not based on double opt-in. However, this is a legal requirement in 
Germany and many other countries. Otherwise we would be subject to an 
expensive cease and desist letter.

As a workaround, we only enabled signup via OpenID, until AskBot 
improves this, or we can develop our own authentication mechanism.

I agree this is tedious and annoying, however, from a legal POV, we - 
sadly - have no other choice at the moment.
