confermation.

That's because it's getting sent to the address you have in your
account, and likely isn't forwarded to your current account. If they
still exist, see if you can resubscribe with your old user ID, then
have SETI send your password to it. 

S@h isn't inclined to change the email address on an account as it's
nearly impossible to verify who the account actually belongs to. If
you have some way of proving it's your S@h account and they have the
time, you might get it changed.

I can't post on the message boards - no account!  There are no email
addresses published to mail with problems.

I'm really getting sick of all this.  Transitions are not easy, but
you don't have to ignore your users in the process.

They're busy and I think almost all are volunteers--this is a spare
time project.
