i’ve been unable to sign on for some time. I think I may have been blocked, so I created another new identity. I’d like to go back to being myself, but who knows with this forum.

Listeners write in about ventilation and radon control and ask questions about tightening basement garages, ventilation solutions, and safer paint stripper.

Sorry for this. I can delete spam posts and flip the trusted user switch and that's about it. Let me forward this to some alleged person at Taunton and we'll see if they respond.......
I love it.
"alleged person"
What's not to like.....
I found your other account and it says there's no block, so you should be able to post. I cannot see your password nor your email address, perhaps that has changed? There was a post by that name 4 and 6 days ago, then a gap back to June. There's history continuous from there back 5 years. Your screen name was mikemahan1.
if I don't hear back from the alleged it could mean he pursued a better offer.
or
it means they really don't give a hoot and have put me on ignore.
wierdness.
Original name was Mike Mahan. When they'd given me a number and taken 'way my name, I was able to log in. I tried to change the number to user name Mike Mahan, but that was supposedly taken. So I changed the number to user name mikemahan1. All was well and good, until.....
I'd go to the log in page and log in. All seemed well and good, No error messages about name or password. But I wasn't logged in. I'd hit the log in link only to be taken to the home page. Couldn't log in or log out. I cleared cookies and still had the same problem, when I tried to log in. So, I created this new identity including a new email address.
I just logged out and tried to sign into my old account. Same old same old. In order to get the log in page I had to clear the site's cookies. Then I was able to log into this account.
