Make sure you have very difficult passwords for your email account and for your WordPress.com blog and make sure they are different too.

on my list of invited users, there is a user named "uts12345", which I cannot delete. I am certain I have not invited this user. Since I tried deleting it, invitations to other users (I asked for help on that topic, too) do not seem to show any more. Can you help? Thanks in advanve.
