Re: apparent Flightgear list-exploit

I think I saw it but deleted it.  I use gmail imap so maybe it was caught for some people. It's not often we get any excitement on the users list and I just got caught up in the moment. For a good look at malicious links culled from spam go to  http://www.phishtank.com/ . I used to rate them when I had more time and supposed experienced users sometimes have trouble figuring out a malicious link. 
This would be a good time to plug opendns which warns you about visiting known phishing links.
