Fickle things, memories. One minute you are able to reel off lists of posters who were active in a period and the next you can't even remember your own.
Seems you are still a little rusty as you don't need Lardy to do anything. You just send him your old User Name using the PM button you found. Better still, send him the PM from the old account as as long as it hasn't been deactivated at your request or banned by the Mods it should still be free to use. Give Mike a shout if you have forgotten the password as well as he will send you a new one.
