Glad it's all sorted out now.
I think people were a bit quick to jump on him, these sort of mishaps occur.
For instance, free email addresses were banned last time i checked for obvious reasons, but many people use these as their primary email accounts.
The only acceptable accounts are usually ISP given, or work/uni email. This doesn't help as both can change fairly frequently. In my case, my current ISP ( incidentally my ISP has changed 3 times in as many years) doesn't offer me an email service, my work email is monitored and for business use only, and my uni account doesn't work anymore.
This is in no way a dig at how the forums are set up as there isn't really a better solution, however, I just think we need to be a bit careful before the name calling happens.
not everyone can get hold of an ISP email address though
