Ya, you can do that :) -- it's been that way since the beginning of the
authentication stuff in 2001.

Mmm, yes. I didn't have a good way to do this. If news-posting accounts
were more account-based, it would be pretty straightforward to maintain a
list of pending requests on a per-person basis. (This is how I always
imagined implementing pending notifications in auction bidding too.) If
there wasn't an authenticate-all button, at least you should be able to
click through a list of pending articles one-by-one easily.

design (kicks self). It was never the plan to make web posting difficult for
anyone -- it just sort of evolved in the wrong direction. Fixing is needed
indeed!
