[wp-forums] Can't log in at wordpress.org

[Chris Cox]

Dion: I've switched off digest now so I can direct thanks appropriately. 
Also signing up to wp-hackers.
Mika: that's the first thing I tried, but it's still claiming that this 
email address is in use.
Otto: Much appreciated, will do. Where do I send the beer?
