1) It was formatted as a malware offer, not as a discussion item,
with NO apparent human generated content.
Am I the only one here who receives emails that consist of malware links?


2) I am not reading my email in a web browser.  It is not much difficulty 
to copy the URL into a browser, but I'd like a mention of what it is 
before being told to "go there".


It only takes a few words to explain why we would be interested in it,
and some sign that it is from our friend, not a bot generated spoof to
get people to a hijacked site.   (ransomware upped the stakes on such 
things)
