I used to run a mailing list for my blog. I've gotten some pretty hostile responses to people who were adamant they never subscribed to my mailing list.

I have no idea how this happened; I just coded a simple form with a basic Turing test ("please enter the number 9 here" works well enough for small sites). Did they forget they subscribe? Did someone else use their email? Did someone typo the email address? Bots? No way for me to know.
