Dear list,
Is this a real request or a phishing?
Sorry to be so freaky, but I had just finished reading a security newlestter and then got this re-confirmation email.
Regards, embee

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

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.

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.

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....

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.)
