A followup thought to this - provide a "confirm my posts" link to the
web interface when you are logged on. This would allow use of NNTP to

size of the area to type the message in), but skip waiting for the
e-mail to confirm.

Wouldn't that allow a determined spoofer to wait till it was obvious that
someone known to be a member was logged in (say if he saw a flurry of posts
from you in .pirate within a few min of each other) and then spoof as you,
at least as long as you remained logged on and active?

Maybe I'm not following your suggestion, though
