Very, very good idea, actually. I certainly know my friends and coworkers well
enough that I wouldn't sign them up for somthing that they wouldn't enjoy or
benefit from. To join relative strangers to the list is obviously a bad idea. But
if the confirmation message included a note *from me*, whom they know, and then
offered them the chance to ignore the message and not subscribe, or to reply to be
subscribed, this would be a good process.
