Agreed.

So let me understand the proposal you're suggesting:

1. User clicks on subscribe button.
2. Enter in ID/PW
3. Another dialog appears with (or a dynamic dialog expands with  
instructions below):

'You've already subscribed to this collection. What would you like to  
do?'

[    ] Cancel and return to what I was viewing.
[    ] Rename this collection [                      ] and add it  
again to my account.
[ x ] Do not add this collection to my account but log me into the  
web UI.

[Okay]

We can modify the language, but is this the gist of what you're  
suggesting?
