I was just thinking... if you have the same email address as before, you should be able to log on as Christopher Snow then go through the "Forgot your password?" routine. I can't see why this wouldn't work as your account is still there. You could ask Neal first... he'd tell you

You would, however, then have two accounts and (as this is not permitted) he would kill the unwanted one

Good idea. I have a new internet provider, but I kept the old ID when I ported over, so I will try to contact Neal and see what can be done. Obviously it makes better sense to revert to the old I.D., for any number of reasons.


Thank you too for finding the post I put up then with regard to Lt. Daker. That one in particular helps right now.

...and I guess we'll see what happens at this point.

Glad to help; I realised that the post about Lt Daker was one you would not have forgotten, if this was your profile. Best of luck now

Thank you for your help. I have tried, twice now to PM you in reply and also to Onkel Neal to request he investigate recovering my old I.D. but when I investigate my own P.M. "Sent" file I see no PM's sent.



Could be I have my own internet I.D. tightened down too tight, such that even PM's dont go through (which would explain a lot).



As it happens I recently did tie my ID down more tightly to avoid the intrusion of Ads, with the help of one of my fellow sim-racers who happens to be an IT expert...and I suspect this is not only the cure (for the Ads) but perhaps also the source of the PM problem.



I will try to sort it out, although I won't be able to consult with him until later this week (four or five days) at the earliest. So, while I truly do appreciate your help, I probably can't do anything to further Neal "re-finding me" for several days at best.


Don't lose sleep over it. And thanks again!

We know exactly who you are.

Cool!



I had some hundred and more posts back in those days, and I suspect some of them were controversial...probably political. But, as I've already said: "These are my pants, so I must be me."



Hope I didn't make too many enemies then. And I'm willing to listen to just about anyone, even if my eyes glaze over shortly into the discussion.


It takes all kinds to make the world!
