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.
