Oh, I can still post here, but whenever I go to my profile and try to change it, I get a message saying that someone else has my e-mail address. That other person is probably me, since I may have registered under two names. (If I did, it was because I forgot the first user-name or I couldn’t use it. I did **NOT** intend to create a sock-puppet in support of my arguments here.) Anyway, does anybody know what I should do about it? I really would like to change my password and update my settings… Eddie ---

Send an e-mail to Tuba and ask her to straighten out your two screen names, as that’s almost certainly what the problem is. [tubadiva@aol.com](mailto:tubadiva@aol.com)
