Sorry, let me guess your balance was > $100* in either cash or BTC?
*I'm not sure I got the number right, but one of these threads has an IRC snippet, and they are doing "extra security" (delays) for accounts over $100(?) USD and/or BTC value.
I'm sure you will update here, I will too if I see that thread.
EDIT:
let me guess, your account has a decent sized balance.

Let me guess you typed faster than me, d.james. Do you have the link to the thread with more info re: balances? (the IRC quote)
