I didn't ask how confident you were.

I asked about the basis for your confidence in your statement: (a) that 
I had "confirmed that the email address works", and that (b) this was 
"not such a smart move".

I have no idea about that.  In any case it is irrelevant.

Unquestionably so, but that's not what I asked.

I asked if you had done any research on the particular email that the 
list received, to determine whether it could be reasonably judged as 
safe to follow the opt-out link.

I'm not setting you up for a flame job.  But you did flame me.  And now 
it seems like you are ignoring my questions and substituting the 
answers to different questions, which makes you look evasive.  You can 
clear this up by just giving a yes-or-no answer to my second question 
(recapped above).
