"This is the automated Dean 10000 cluster of Volunteers.

We are very sorry that you cannot prove who you are. Unfortunately, we have in the past had a small number of users try to forge accounts, results, and otherwise attempted sabotage. Hence, understandably, we have a minimal yet robust system of security.

Please accept the small inconvenience of creating a new account for your new contact details. Please take note of the security password sent to you to your provided contact details to prove your credentials. Please keep your contact details and password safe and current.

For a new account, you are welcome to use a similar yet unique name to that of your old id. For example, just append a '_2' to your existing id name.

We trust you enjoy your continued experience of free seti.

Yours obsequiously,"
