OK then [EMAIL PROTECTED] emails [EMAIL PROTECTED], that would work
wouldn't it. Basically I am trying to say this is a first good check
but there are other ways to crack these things. Keep thinking if you
are looking for real security, a simple check is still just a simple
check. Encrypting a link and then letting anyone use it might be zero
security as well.
By the way I think that [EMAIL PROTECTED] does exist, possibly why it
was chosen.
