While I was on the west coast my wife called me and said here email quit working. I had noticed that an email I had sent her had bounced which was not a good sign.
When I got home I tried to login to my master road runner account and I was blocked as well. Calling Road Runner they informed my master account had been reset to a completely different username when we moved in October.
