What the hell do I have to do to get a response from these people? It’s still broken; trying to log in to Blogger results in “User account not found”, there’s no record of my email address in the system, and I’ve only received unhelpful automated responses to my support requests. I’ve added this and the previous post manually, by editing the site’s index page. I’m extremely frustrated.

Blogger has apparently lost my account information. I can’t log in. It’s not just a password problem; the system doesn’t recognize my user account name or email address. I’ve filed a help request, but on the evening before Thanksgiving I’m not optimistic of receiving help any time soon.

President Bush tugged at both handles on the double doors before admitting: “I was trying to escape. Obviously, it didn’t work.”
