Welcome back then, and we can certainly attempt to merge your prior account, especially if you have access to your original email address. @engineer_comp_geek is the one who normally handles this so feel free to reach out.

Aside, I’m sorry to hear about the loss of your friend and fellow poster, perhaps you’ll want to mention this in our [Memoriam](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/in-memoriam/489917/1) thread? We’ve lost many over the long years at the board.
