Its easy to prove.  

What work unit do you have now?
I have unit #xxxx.
Thats correct, we'll change your password.

Its not total proof, but heck, this isn't Mission Impossible.

Even if they would "fix" my account, there is NO WAY it would seem to
contact them, short of sending a message from a distant Galaxy.

CQ CQ SETI AT HOME CQ CQ PLEASE CHANGE MY ACCOUNT

There is no email account on the old website, none on the new website,
and I don't see anyone addressing all the others in with simular
problems in the msg boards on either site.

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

And the crunchers are getting paid?  We're volunteers too.  I've seen
tons of people on the msg boards with problems, untransferable
accounts, you name it.  Perhaps we're not worth it.

Perhaps I calculate PI at home for the heck of it.....
