I think part of the confirmation process is also to have the
subscriber confirm that they did indeed ask to join the group. It is
possible for someone else to have entered their address in a sign up
form like the one available on the Promote page. So in my mind the
confirmation is checking to see that the email address is valid and that
the person actually wants to join the list.

And then the Premium extra bit to "confirm an email/account that's

confirm someone trying to subscribe with that rather than by email?
I've not seen this in action so I can't quite picture it ;-) I'm
imagining the new GIO account person would then search the list of
GIO groups, select my group, and ask to be a member on their GIO
home page. So, without being a Premium account we couldn't accept
such requests?
If someone is totally new to the site and has not yet created an
account, an attempt will be made by the site to create one for them.
Part of this procedure is for them to reply to an email sent to them,
thus confirming a good email address.? If they've attempted to join your
group (at the same time or later), you'll see a pinkish NC next to their
email address on your member list.? On a Premium group, you can confirm
that address instead of them replying to the email they received.? Some
folks make a mistake when entering their email address, others don't
read the confirmation email.? If you confirm the address and it's
incorrect, it will start bouncing, so be sure it's right before
confirming for them if you go that route.
