I'm wondering if anyone else here has an account at play.com.
I can't log in. I have successfully created an account, but I cannot log
into it. It says that either the email address or the password are incorrect.
If I ask for it to send me the password by email, it says that the email is
incorrect. If I try to re-create my account, it now says that the email has
already been taken.
How can an email address be both taken *and* incorrect at the same time?
I tried making a google search to see if anyone else is having the same
problem, but found nothing.
I have sent them two queries about the problem already. No response.

There's a different web site (iStockPhoto) that does that to me from time to
time. The only way I know to "fix" it with them to clear my browser cache
and my cookies, which is mildly annoying. Fortunately, I don't go there too
often, so it's not too awful.

It can't be a problem with cookies or the browser cache. I forgot to
mention that I have tried to log in from both Linux and Windows, using a
total of 5 different browsers (Linux Firefox, Konqueror, Windows Firefox,
Google Chrome and Internet Explorer) and it makes absolutely no difference.
It must be something on their end.

Yes.
I have no problem logging in to my account (and see my outstanding order
for Blu-Ray Ice-Age trilogy ;-), but my account is oooold.

I'm becoming convinced that Disgaea is cursed and doesn't want me to
buy it.

It knows it's you, and it doesn't like *you*.
(Said by a sysop answering the phone for the 30th time when the mainframe
had crashed and he was trying to fix it. I still giggle at the memory.)

I ordered stamps from Zazzle that read "Place Stamp Here".

It was funny. He's a nice guy, but the trouble phone was mounted on the wall
right over the operator's console. So he's trying to fix the thing, and the
phone is ringing every 10 seconds as someone dials into the mainframe and it
doesn't answer. After about the tenth call, he bellows that into the phone
and slams it down, and everyone else in the room just fell down laughing.
I've been using that expression for like 3 decades now.

I'm still irritated with Chris.
Picture the scene: Me and my dad are on her hands and knees outside the
server room door. In front of us is a large pile of assorted bits of
metal and wire that *should* be inside the server room, servicing
requests. We're both kneeling there, leaning over this thing and trying
to get the job done.
...and Chris walks over, serveys the situation, and then offhandedly
enquires "you do know that Watson isn't working, right?"
(I believe my responce was of the form "yeah, no ****, Sherlock! Now
**** off and let me fix it!")

Sorry, can you run that by me again? He was sitting on her hands and you
on her knees? Doing what?
