Dan at Webflyer:

Thanks for checking on this for me. I realize that I sounded more than a bit strident last night, and I do apologize. I prob'ly should have sent you all an email instead of posting it. Again, I apologize.

BTW, it was maybe a problem of not waiting long enough, as my friends were able to get in. I told them to try doing something like updating their profile instead of making a "dummy" post and cauing more static on the board.

I think that your trying another handle was perfectly since it was a one-time only deal, and you clearly identified it as such when you posted. However, in the interest of avoiding the multiple handles thing, I will not try another post under the handle I registered under...which was x. Feel free to remove that account from FT.

And thanks again for trying to run this down for me!
