@smorks I figured it out. I'm an idiot.

I put in the wrong email address - one that may not even exist (and if it does exist, it's not mine.)

I blame the fever I had this morning. Is there any way you can just trash the account and I can start again, or correct the email address?

@Rentlar I provided an email address, but never got a verification email. (and yes, I checked my spam folder.)

Could it possibly be the fact that my email address has "spam" in it?

(Aside: the fact that I can post here from Mastodon is frickin' cool.)
