I'm pretty angry right now, so bear with me....here's the story.
I've had the same e-mail address for well over 15 years, and the same address with just a different domain for about 5 years before that. It's a long story, but my folks had Clearwire internet service when I was living at home, and I had an address with them on that account. When I got older and moved out on my own, I just maintained that address, then when I started medic school, I got my own account so that I could carry the modem (modem is portable and wireless) with me to different fire stations to do my homework. When I created the new account, my e-mail address was supposed to be ported over to my account. I have maintained my account with them for several years, strictly to keep the same e-mail address, since their modem doesn't work at my house (the house is like a black hole for wireless signals). I've used the Clearwire modem maybe 5 times since I graduated medic school, just no need for it as I have Roadrunner a the house. Anyway, my folks cancelled their account this week, as they have found a better, faster alternative at their house. I thought nothing of it, since my address was supposed to be tied to my account. Apparently, I was wrong, and the e-mail address was tied to their account, and got deleted when they closed the account. So, I thought, okay, I'll just call Clearwire and have them reactive the address under my account.....nope, that address is deleted and can't be reactivated. So, now, my e-mail address that I use for all of my online transactions, to include my business contacts, is GONE, and I can't ever retrieve it. Lord knows how long it will take for me to get everything updated, from my bank accounts, utility providers, customers, forum accounts etc. This is JUST GREAT!
