Yup.  From my blog posting today:

"There are few people I have met in my life who are as genuine,
kind-hearted and hard-working as Paul and Robin."

Since May 2006, our Phishing Incident Reporting and Termination team has
directly prevented more than $80 million in credit card losses, and
indirectly an additional $75 million by working with our partners. We've
shut down not only phish sites, but drops all the while preserving
evidence for law enforcement. And we need your help by donating your
time as handlers to keep on investigating phish crimes so we can
continue to prevent even greater numbers.

PIRT right now is receiving around 47,000 unique phish submissions per
month. Our PIRT handlers are doing amazing work and trailblazing new
roads in phish investigations and intelligence.
