@acodring : I think you're dead on with the oddity/bad practice of the Google Password Assistance email. I was wondering (and googling) about this myself.
Maybe they should at least explain a bit what happens if I click the link:
* Does clicking the link by itself change my password to whatever someone has changed or does it allow me to change it (which I think is the case - but which I really don't want to try..).
* Why it's ok to click the link this time and only this time...
((... Testing the tweeting of Disqus comments - I wonder how it tweets them? .. I'm assuming 120 or so characters + a link to the disqus page ... Only one way to find out.))
