Troy,
I am gonna tell you what I did. I am the one who generated the initial
question on May 6th.
I paid my $10 and picked another netID.
I used to be castane6. Requested oscar. Now, any email for castane6 OR
oscar goes to my same mail.msu.edu mailbox.
I like it and find it very functional and convenient.
