The page presented to me came from an outfit called "Pride" and was the 
poorest, most obvious phishing attempt I have ever seen. Man in the 
middle attack, so poorly done the alarms went off instantly. It even had 
the chutzpaugh to threaten me when I closed the link.

I found an email link, and have advised the Gnome Foundations people of 
it, asking to be advised when its been fixed. I'd still donate, 
TANSTAAFL & all that.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
