"Either you or Jarred from AquariumForum.com recently requested an email

This is highly recommended reading to maximize your membership at

Its something that gives you the entire message posted instead of getting just the link. You have to join it to receive it that way.

What is up with this?
I don't know and don't think I want to know.

My concern is the links provided go to a google address.

So I deleted it assuming it was phishing.

I deleted it as well since I know I didn't request it and would surely hope that someone is not requesting something on my behalf. ;o)

I got that message when i joined. I actually clicked by mistake lol, I thought it was to register, and it signed me up to get an e-mail every day with the new posts. There is a button at the bottom of the mails you get that lets you unsubscribe any time.

Yes, this was from a service we use, Feedburner/Google. As for back to back messages, don't really know, could have been a glitch from them.
If you don't want this, it's fine, just ignore it.
