Yeah, I pretty much couldn't stop laughing at how transparent an attempt it was. Then again, the sad/scary part is that there ARE people who will fall for it [but that brings up another "then again..." -- the people who will fall for it will do so because they are indeed one of the "targets", i.e., a CP-webmaster -- at that point, who cares whether they fell for it or not?]
In some ways, this falls under the category of "unanswerable questions", as in, "answer yes or no only: have you stopped beating your S/O yet?". In other words, since you really shouldn't click on "no", [because that will "confirm" your e-mail] it implies that "yes" may hold true... ;)
[ok, so I dropped my wallet in the mud... :) :) :) ]
