I, too, am glad to be of service.

This just happened 6 hours ago when I was helping a friend.
Skype (need I say more?)
- Click "forgot password"
- Are any of these your email accounts?
Cuss out Microsoft - Have you ever purchased any products from Microsoft?
Cuss out Microsoft - Please provide 3 Skype names (I was one, her mom was another, her brother might be a third)
Cuss out Microsoft - Have you ever purchased Skype time. Yes
Cuss out Microsoft
5a. How much and on what date?
5b. How the hell should I know. Back
Cuss out Microsoft - Submit - Microsoft will contact you with your new password in 24 hours.
Cuss out Microsoft
We did that a couple months ago. Microsoft never wrote back.
Solution 2 (as was suggested in the video)
- go to www.skype.com
- click on "Create new account"
- We're sorry, but this feature is temporarily unavailable.
- Cuss out Microsoft

Unfortunately, this is happening thousands of times every day around the world. 
Also, that is painful that Solution 2 didn't even work.
It is just too bad that Step 4 cannot really get to the right people at Microsoft.

So, after a few years as a lurker and 15 years as a member I finally met another CPer yesterday for the first time as it turns out he is working about a mile or so away from me.
Very pleasant Chipotle lunch. 
(It was Jeremy Falcon, btw - cool dude).

I have met only two or three.
One I was working a couple hundred feet from and another I'm a couple hundred miles from.
I'm unsure whether the guy who introduced me to CP is/was a member.
I have my MVP certificate up in my cube, but no one has ever asked about it.

It's cool. Give's CP a bit more sense of realism in a way, when you meet the people on it in the real world.

Indeed. I had lunch with Nish and his family a while back; it was great.

That's cool man. Nish is someone I'd like to meet as well.

I was so about to post this... You beat me to it.
It was awesome meeting you, and glad it was, um... entertaining with the incident that occurred. The story of which probably belongs in the SB. 
Looking forward to the next lunch and hopefully we can find some more CPians in the area.

I had a beer with Chris in Toronto a few years back.
Anyway, glad you had a good time with Jeremy.

I was imagine Chris is a fun character in real life... sarcastic wit perhaps... am I accurate?
Jeremy Falcon

I suppose he was to a degree, quite dry, but way more nerdy than I expected, which is to be expected, really. 
|
|
|
|
|
Ha. Makes sense.
Jeremy Falcon

You will have to ask him what he thought of me, my CP persona is just for fun you know. 
|
|
|
|
|
So you're a spy then? 
Jeremy Falcon
|
|
|
|
|
No, just bored.

Cheers - if you're ever in Lala land again, make sure to let either of us know - be great to meet up.

Perhaps Chris could add an optional "missile address" to the profile, which would be displayed only to those with a high enough reputation.
I see the potential for abuse, but if enough members want to actually meet - why not?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
