Re: Broken link on your page http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SecuritySpin

First time I ran across this approach...

Be advised that this is a blatant attempt to get an advertising link
for a very dubious service (phony diplomas) into the Fedora Project
wiki.

This link is indeed returning a 403 error.  An authoritative
replacement link should be found.

I found the tone of this email and the suggested link address highly
suspicious. The suggested replacement link is a very obvious attempt
to get people to see the ads for phony diplomas.

Be advised...not to insult anyone's intelligence, but just to save
people some valuable research time.
