The ONLY link I have for such a critter is this and it's not really that
effective. In short, get a new account and try to remember as many names as
possible.

Good good and thank you. I hate just giving one option when it's slim. *g*
Now I can offer them two URLs... I really doubt they'll get the account back
unless policy has changed. We can only hope? Maybe, just maybe, they'll do a
scan of IP addresses from the log and see who was really logging into the
account 6 months ago? I have no idea??? Sounds like a logical resolution but
there's the manpower issue with something like that. I'm a bit curious as to
how it turns out...
