Re: Did everyone get this email on the list or is this a fishing email

I also received it and I had to confirm my subscription to several 
mailing lists. The good thing is I only had to go through the process 
once for all of them.

The page/form won't work until you enable cookies and a large bunch 
of Javascript sources.

I had to accept some terms and conditions, but refused the junk mail 
opt-in.

I recommend using a separate, burner browser and still delete all 
cookies after you've visited that page.

SourceForge hasn't been cool for many years. I wish all projects I 
like would move elsewhere.
