So because of phishing, nobody should send messages with URLs in them?more and more these days, i have taken to not clicking the update messages, but going to the web site manyually to get it.
Web site? With the RIPE db one communicates using PGP email for data in and port 43 queries for data out. The web site is for signing up to RIPE meetings. Yes, RIPE NCC, I think that you put a lot of resources into new fancy guish junk, and tend to forget how things should be done, and some things -- the horror! -- are only possible to accomplish using the web site and some forgotten password. To me, that is much more annoying than the side projects that people are griping over. </rant>
waaaay to much phishing, and it is getting subtle and good.
