Hello Steve,
Thank you for de-listing me as fast!

I have now another problem:
"This user name already belongs to somebody else. If this is a new account and you need another verification link, try sending another one."

I probably created an account years ago, but I can't remember the email address I used...
What is your advice ? Use another name ? Is there another way to recover this account (if its really mine) ?

You are probably right for .xyz, but it's my forum and wiki ltd...

Laurent.
