I'll see if I can compile some sort of summary and send it to them.

Gee, this sure is one of those moments I wish I actually made notes of things sometimes; I'm gonna have to dig very deep if I want to remember all that stuff.

I've a similar prob. I wanted to register napfisk.wordpress.com (my nickname and pretty unique should you google it) but somehow it exists. I surely must have been a f**k-up on my part when I first started out with WP, because that blog hasn't moved for months now... Ergo, it's mine (whine), but I obviously can't login there!
How do it get that straightened out?

Bit crappy, but that's the way it is I'm afraid.

However, when I went to that blog's URL, I saw this message:

>>This user has elected to delete their account and the content is no longer available.<<

If the account is deleted, is there any way to claim this particular name/URL? Thanks.
