Says who? I tell all the people who matter that I'm creating a new account because I'm tired of having 2400 people in my roster at the old account, on day one I become a room owner for a bunch of chatrooms, then I go offline for a two-week vacation. I come home and my account is gone. What gives? Look, we can spin out weird scenarios all day. Peter -- Peter Saint-Andre https://stpeter.im/
