I didn't even realize it was sitting in the moderation queue (so thank you for taking care of that!), and "obvious" perhaps was the wrong word to use, too :-) -- this is a rather *sneaky* way to do link farming... and I admit that I might even be wrong. But after looking at their site, and considering all things, I still think that it is link farming... But by no means did I want to complain about the mail not having been moderated out -- sorry if it got across like that :/. Indeed, had I done the moderation, I probably would have let it go through, too, as I am not 100% certain that it really is trick... Anyway, there seems little to be gained by "advertising" this "award", so even if it is legit, I think we can safely ignore it ;) Cheers, Max ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
