Sorry to be so freaky, but I had just finished reading a security newlestter and then got this re-confirmation email. Regards, embee Top #209205 - 01/22/13 11:03 PM Re: subscription re-confirmation email? [Re: embee] olly old hand Registered: 12/18/06 Posts: 932 Loc: Auckland, New Zealand G'day, The website link points to the correct place so I'd imagine that unless someone hacked the site all is as it says. regards Top #209223 - 01/23/13 10:42 AM Re: subscription re-confirmation email? [Re: embee] Buffalo Shrdlu Carpal Tunnel Registered: 06/24/02 Posts: 7185 Loc: Vermont I got it, too, and went ahead and clicked (very hesitantly I might add), but it seems legit. I would rather that Anu had just said to come to the AWAD website and find the appropriate link there, but. _________________________ formerly known as etaoin...

[Re: embee] embee stranger Registered: 10/05/09 Posts: 2 Thx folks. I guess I'll try to find the thing again and click on the link. Gee whiz, I don't know where I put it.

[Re: embee] JoR stranger Registered: 01/27/13 Posts: 4 Loc: South Africa I may be paranoid, but I don't trust any e-mail that tells me to click on a link in order to do what they ask. I immediately sent an e-mail asking Wordsmith to confirm if it was a legitimate request.... _________________________ JoR Top #209268 - 01/27/13 09:16 AM Re: subscription re-confirmation email?

[Re: embee] Buffalo Shrdlu Carpal Tunnel Registered: 06/24/02 Posts: 7185 Loc: Vermont My computer has suffered no ill effects from the link-clicking. But I'm on a mac, so your mileage may vary. (and I know, bad stuff can happen to macs, too, it's just not as likely. Which is why I felt comfortable trying the link.) _________________________ formerly known as etaoin...
