Before I subscribed to the dope under this name, I had two previous guest memberships that I never used and lost the passwords for. Who do I contact to get that straightened out?

In the interest of full disclosure, I must confess that up until recently, I was just going to not bother 'fessing up for fear of getting banned, but I managed to checkmate myself in a recent series of posts. I asked that the relevant post be reported but I haven’t heard anything back and although I know you admins probably have a lot on your plates and that expecting instantaneous replies is unreasonable, I was concerned that if it hadn’t been reported, the continuing silence on my part could be interpreted as deviousness. Another bit of embarrassing but possibly important information is that instead of just posting something in this forum about it, I referred to the instructions in a several-months-old post to a poster in a similar situation to email TubaDiva, which I did. Again, I haven’t heard back, which is understandable, but I felt I should make another attempt for the reason I stated earlier.

The relevant post, in which I linked to the post I got the email-TubaDiva thing from:

I’m really sorry for breaking the rules and causing a minor fuss about it, and thanks.

I’m on this. I"ll be working with supergoose to straighten this out.

It’s always better to 'fess up and come talk to me about stuff like this, we can work it out so it all comes out to the good side.
