If your theory is correct, their main fault seems to be not fully
documenting that only personal email addresses that LOOK like personal
email addresses are acceptable. This seems not altogether a Bad
Thing. With one breath you want more security, with the next you
complain when attempts at this inconvenience you.

"Re-confirming" my email address every three days (and having an
email system that works 10% of the tries) does NOT constitute
"more security". In my POV it is evidence of an out-of-control
system.

I bet you're over 60. I'm rapidly approaching that age, and find
myself having to be constantly on the alert for curmudgeonly
tendencies :-)

When you've grown up from the very start of the internet, you
are less tollerant of the same old foolishness and fecal materal
coming around again and again.

IT HAPPENED AGAIN! Looks like it is on a 3-day cycle.

I actually used their process to "Deactivate" my account. But it
apparently does NOTHING except require you to log in next
time you open it. It does NOT delete anything, so everything
(content, links, friends, etc.) was completely intact ever after I
"Deactivated" it. I have ZERO faith in those people.
