I used to log on here as **scr4** but I screwed up my account - I tried to change the e-mail address and entered an incorrect one. So the old account is locked till I respond to the confirmation which of course I didn’t receive. I realize I may currently be in violation of the board rules by registering another account, but I’m not exactly _maintaining_ two accounts. Is there any way the admins can restore my old account to my old e-mail address (the same one I’m using for this account) or disable it and let me use this new one? I tried e-mailing to [webmaster@straightdope.com](mailto:webmaster@straightdope.com) but it’s been about 10 days and I haven’t received a reply. ---

OK, the old email account should now be functional. Not sure why your emails to webmaster didn’t get to anyone, but you might try direct emailing to an Admin next time (heavens forbid!) something like that happens? ---

Thank you! Good to be back. Sorry for that extra account I created. I wanted to e-mail the admins directly but I couldn’t look at their profiles without logging in. Are the admins’ e-mail addresses posted elsewhere? The only one I could find was the **webmaster** address which I e-mailed to twice, one week apart, and got no responses. Anyway, thank you again and sorry for the trouble. ---

TubaDiva’s email addy is on the Straight Dope main page, beside the Weird Earl’s link, if you have problems getting through again, **scr4**. ---

At Arnold Winkelried’s pitiful home page you can find his e-mail address (bottom of the page). ---
