Just another note of caution: be very careful about emails that direct you
to what appear to be legitamate web sites. There have been many cases of
counterfeit sites set up to collect personal information and steal your
identity. If I ever have any doubts at all, I will go to the home page and
try to navigate to the subject page from there.
